I did nothing drastic : wound separate transformer for digital board to bridge, BG Super E; another transformer for the analogue B+ and 6922 filaments, into their own rectifier bridges. B+ is now L-C-L-C. Using oil cans for the C, and Tamura 30Hy for the L. K-bypass cap for the SRPP 6922 is now super-e. Output is still cap-coupled. I didn't measure the original iron, but my present irons run and never get beyond a degree or two above room temp. I left as is and didn't alter AN's cascaded transformers - the four cylinders - to lop off high frequency grunge. I am curious about your "cathode follower" Did you parallel the 2 halves of the dual triodes, and tapped into the cathode? or did you cascade the 2 halves ? WHat's your plate and cathode voltage? Current? I didn't touch the SRPP anymore because it was handling minuscule signals anyway ... but your amendments might be superior to the original.
