Are 63 V smoothing capacitors too tight for my power amp?

I am thinking of replacing the old, cheap 80V / 10000uF smoothing capacitors of my power amp with Panasonic caps from the TS-HA series (I have read excellent reports from the users of these 'snap-in'-type caps).

However, the maximum capacitance value offered by PANASONIC in the 80 V range is 6800uF.

Given the fact that the secondaries of the power transformer of my power amp measure *45* V, could I get into trouble if I replace the actual *80* V /10000 uF smoothing caps with *63* V / 10000uF caps?

Thanks in advance for any input.
