How does using multiple rectifiers influence the recommended size of the first capacitor?
Case in point - I'm using two 6BY5 rectifiers. Recommended first cap is 8uF. Can this be increased when you double the rectifiers?

This shows both plates in parallel going into an 8 uf cap. When you are dealing with parallel diodes, one of those puppies will invariably switch on a hair quicker than the other. They don't share perfectly.
That being said, you can likely get away with a 20uf input cap if you are not running the tube at capacity.
