One trick for heavy transformers is to run 1/8 x 3/4in aluminum angle under chassis end to end attached to the transformer bolts. Just like a truss or floor joist.
Ancient civil engineering trick - distribute the weight and get away with thinner "floor material".
I have done this a couple of times on some amp builds.
