Hi Steve O, I disagree, the windings must be rated for the current that is passing thru them. In the case where someone is taking the 5V secondary winding of say a Dynaco ST70 amp and put it in series with the primary there would be no problem as the transformer primary winding current is already rated for the amp's load and the current rating of the 5V secondary is more than adequate. In the case of what I think Steve was doing using a stand alone transformer, the VA of the transformer must be high enough that the current rating of the 120V primary winding can carry the current being drawn by the load.
