that's just me. Note that I said I run inrush current limiters these days and have done for years. The few tenths of a volt drop under normal operating conditions keeps all of my filaments well within spec even under elevated mains voltage conditions.
So, to clarify my response to the initial poster's question I don't think anything needs to be done to the rest of the amp to cater for slightly higher mains voltage but I would still add a few cheap inrush current limiters to the filaments.
I would of course check the ratings of caps and the like but I'd be surprised if anything needed to be done in that respect.
