RE: Half-wave rectifiers

>What are the advantages of using two half-wave tube rectifiers over one full-wave? More current passed?

It is a damper diode and is only available as half wave. It has 6kV PIV, 300mA continuous current capability, low forward voltage drop, slow controlled warmup, and is inexpensive.
