To preface, I am completely happy with my current pedals in that department (Fuzzrocious triangle Muff, 3Leaf Audio GR, EHX POG2). But if I were to add to it....

Distortion:
Green Sovtek Big Muff Pi
Analogman-modded TS808

Filter:
Keep the 3leaf, it's perfect

Octave:
Boss OC-2 (more natural sounding octave down)

That's sorta what I was gonna say. Mutron Octave Divider and an original Mutron III for sure. For distortion, I'd have to think about it. I guess it depends on if you very specifically mean distortion, or if fuzz and overdrive pedals also count. If it could be fuzz, again I'd probably get something vintage and rare like a Univox Superfuzz. The Schumann Lion would definitely be on the list as well and is more of a distortion. Keep mind I haven't actually used any of these pedals but if I had unlimited funds I would buy them based on their reputations.

Distortion: I already have it, which is a blue/gray "Civil War" Sovtek Big Muff. I would like to try the green/gold version that came before it, or even a Red Army Overdrive.

Envelope: I don't know. I had a G5 and got rid of it, wish I hadn't now that I am a living room warrior and no longer gig.

Octave: The multi switching Foxrox Octron or a Bass Whammy.

If money was no object, I would hire someone to recreate the Bass Whammy and the Deep Impact though.

Money's no object? Chris Wolstenholme's rig. Big Muff, Animato, DI, FM-4, BSW, OC-2... Plenty to choose from.

Or an Octavius Squeezer. That sucker does EVERYTHING. I'd just need time to learn how to use it.

Oh, I would take:

Octave: MXR Bass Octave Deluxe
Filter: Mad Professor Snow White Auto Wah
Dirt: Probably a Voodoo Lab Superfuzz to be honest

And that is the order I would run them in. If you intend to put the dirt before the filter, I then might go with an Analogman Sun Face, probably Germanium for that application.

i dont currently own a distortion or really have a need for one.. i use my brown dog for all dirt-fuzz sounds.

filter- ive got a mutron and DOD FX25.. really have no desire for any other filter, but i do use both of them and wouldent be able to choose only one. (funny, money is no object..and the $40 pedal is competing with the $400 mutron..)

im pretty much happy with my OC-2 as on actave. ive liked the sound of the mutron octave, but its big and needs a power supply..but ive also heard the octabass gets close to that... so that'd probably be the one.
