That 20 μF. cap. will be perfectly safe. Look at the 5AR4 data sheet. The type can take up to (sic) 60 μF. Your amp has 2 5AR4s too boot. :>)
What could be a problem is today's higher average AC mains voltage. Close on the WVDC is OK, but don't exceed the rating under "routine" operating conditions. Remember, some surge headroom is available. BTW, AA sponsor Jim McShane shows a 100 μF. X 100 μF./500 WVDC clamp mount part. If that part fits your chassis opening, you are good to go.
