I'm NO designer, but WHY the Slo-Blo fuse?
Perhaps a 3 amp REGULAR fuse?

Hello,
The amp is more demanding on startup than when running; hence the slow-blow fuse. It doesn't blow at the initial load, which is 2X nominal.
WAY past what I know, but here is the Elliot Sound Products article on 'soft start'.
Too much is never enough
Vacuum rectifiers will provide a "soft" start, IF they are constructed with cathode sleeves. Directly heated vacuum rectifiers turn on almost as quickly as SS diodes do.
