You want to stick with the paper in oil to at least maintain some semblance of the original sonic structure.There are very good caps as well in other types,but I think this one here is going to be what you want and it has the same shape as your original from what I can see.

I have used those Russian caps in the link and generally like them better than most plastic caps out there even some expensive plastic caps.
I think they even give some of the newer paper caps like the fairly pricey Jensen PIO caps a run for the money and the cost is so reasonable on the Russian caps you will be very pleased at the price/performance ratio.
Looking at the rest of your amp I would say those Russian caps would not be out of place sound wise.
Just make sure they are going to fit as the square form is a little weird.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. Since I posted that,he posted the schematic and once he did that,you can see the 4uf was the charging cap in the power supply.I think the one he has in the amp is fine.The way he talks is like he may have a tube glowing problem and in that case the coupling caps,C7 and C8 are suspect.
