Any device in series with the B+ will drop voltage. Like I said, a solid state junction is less than a volt drop and in a tube B+ circuit that's hardly significant.
To get more B+ you need more secondary voltage or explore capacitive voltage doubler options.
If it's a small b+ increase you need you can cheat a little by pushing the transformer AC input voltage up with a buck/boost transformer. Remember the step up ratio is in your favor here. But be careful of over heating, I would not go beyond 130 volts AC input.
