"Yeah it ran a GE 5AR4 hard, pushing a 320 uF cap."
Why would anyone do that?
Torture the tube, transformer and the first cap with those high charging currents?
A 5ar4 has a limit for the first cap of 60uf and that's only when the proper resistance per plate (rt) is provided (different values ranging from 75 to 200 ohms depending on the AC voltage applied).
If you increase this resistance the cap value can be a higher value but without the proper resistance the cap would need to be lower in value.
