Question I:Sure, you can do anthing you want with the parts. We won't be able to offer any detailed support about what you would need to change to make the kit work in other applications, so it will probably be worth it to study the articles on shunt regulation in the July 1999 issue of Tube CAD journal and the original C4S manual. Most parts in the kit would stay the same for different applications, except for most of the resistors supplied in the kit and perhaps the shunt regulator bypass capacitor whose value is selected depending upon the regulated voltage chosen. In the case of a direct coupled shunt regulated amp where voltages can get pretty high you need to keep the voltage limit of 375V across the MJE5731A in mind.
Question II:
The MJE5731A can handle 2 watts maximum dissipation without a heatsink. Any more than that and an appropriate heat sink needs to be used. You would need to calculate the current and voltage across the MJE5731As to determine the power dissipation in a different application. In the case of the SR45 the MJE5731A that is in the C4S load on top of the shunt regulator is dissipating about 3W and hence modest heat sinks will be included with the kit.
