Kyle,Willie's earlier schematics showed a Hammond 274X with a 134 Ohm DCR high voltage winding. Likely, ..... that is what he used.
The 274BX, with about an 80 ohm DCR winding, will work FINE, especially if yours is a later one and has the 115 and 125 primary taps - use it on 0-125 VAC input !!
An unused 6.3 VAC winding will not be very much of a factor in overall VAC output with the lightly-loaded high voltage secondary winding. PT is working in a loaf mode.
Over Christmas 2014, Willie's unique / original build inspired me to design a 26-26-45 amp, ( without the cap couple ), and I gave it an absolutely over-the-top KICK-ASS, easy-to-implement power supply.
I did not bother to build it, ( 'am more interested in optimized two stage amps ), but ..... I would be happy to post my schematics IF anyone is interested and / or thinking of doing a 26-26-45 amp. I believe it is a solid design.
One day, later in the year, I hope to drive to St. Louis ( 225 miles one way ) and visit Willie, so we can A-B our various DIY amps on his MLTLs, and have some FUN !!
