Lew, I am missing something. The two full wave bridge rectifiers at the back of the amps only run the low voltage storage capacitors. One rectifier per cap. One cap handles one phase, while the other cap takes care of the other phase.
If the 4-pole cap handles both phases in one can, than we no longer need two discrete power supplies. The second 4-pole cap simply helps filter the signal.
If my simple understanding is correct, these storage caps simply add 'ommph' to the signal.
If I had a 500 Ohm speaker, there would be no need for any storage caps. The circlotron would work just fine without.
