"When the voltage tries to drop, the magnetic field in the choke starts to collapse, releasing energy that opposes the voltage drop."
That's actually the opposite of what happens. If the amplifier creates a sudden demand for current, the choke "bucks" it and it's output voltage goes down. This is why it's critical that the last cap have sufficient storage. Note that SE amps make different demands, as their average current draw doesn't change significantly.
