Well you can't, sorry! The name has to be a QName, it can't be an
expression, and it can't be an attribute value template. A QName can't have
a "$" in it.
It looks to me as if your situation can be handled by changing
<xsl:call-template ...> to <xsl:apply-templates mode="x"/>,
and replacing
<xsl:template name="type1"> by <xsl:template match="RECORD[@TYPE='type1']"
mode="x">
If you really need to call a named template decided at run-time, you can do
it in Saxon as
<xsl:call-template name="{$rectype}" saxon:allow-avt="yes"/>
