The WIMA DC-Link caps, probably 800 VDC rated, would be precisely what I would use and suggest!! Black Solen films are NG sounding - terrible, anywheres in a SE amp.
You have to select the amount of capacitance on Rks entirely by ear, not with ANY formula what so ever. Start with a LOW value film. Say 10 uF, and parallel and listen.
There is no electrolytic that is good enough on Rks. It takes MULTIPLE value films, and an EAR, and LOTS of patience ( break in time on a Mundorf Tin Foil film amounted to 900 hours, WHO does that, only Dennis !!! ) and bucks to get right.
Only person in THIS world who knows how to do this is Dennis Fraker, who is UBER experienced at this. Believe me, I have asked and watched him on this !!

...will be lots better sounding than what I started with, 'in spite' of the few BlackGate 'lytics I'll be using.
And maybe it'll have a low-DCR choke in it. :-)
