You can use the euro style terminal blocks. Just be sure to get the
U/L, ETL or TUV listed ones (CE doesn't count).

They can be a long strip of these.
BUTT - can I use them with Aluminum wire?
Molex has ones listed for both copper and aluminum at:

For the grounds you can use a regular bus bar like you see in panels.
That can make a very neat installation. I did it when I replaced my
service panel to extend the wires that were too short. It avoided
that jumble of wire nuts you are talking about.
May have to get a few of those stripos to extend the neutrals fo
install arcfault breakers - - -
Those do have to have rail mounting system which is neat but overkill
for this even by my standards...
I'd pair each cable 2/3 wire and use common ground bus as gfretwell noted.
Breakers are in main panel and aren't changing -- have enough circuits
and it's old work retrofit so I'm not going to change anything but make
the wires longer to reach their new homes...
