Ah, so you want to receive one each of various types?  Something like 
this might work (untested):

        // These could be inferred using std.traits.ReturnType
        alias ResultTypes = AliasSeq!(int, float, Baz);

        bool received(T) = false;
        bool receivedAll()
        {
            foreach (T; ResultTypes)
                if (!received!T) return false;
            return true;
        }

        while (!receivedAll)
        {
            receive(
                (int x)   { received!int = true; /* other work... */ },
                (float x) { received!float = true; /* other work... */ },
                (Baz x)   { received!Baz = true; /* other work... */ }
            );
        }
