One of the biggest gains to be had after a GZ34 is putting a 35uf unlytic poly capacitor in place of the 20uf electrolytic.Then goes a 4.7k huntington non-inductive resistor which is the same as the Mills non inductive type,and that separates the next two sections which you to 100uf each so a dual 100 JJ works well there.The 5uf electrolytic feeds the screen of the 7199 pentode part of the tube,I use a 5uf poly there as it decouples that grid.
Then you get up in the phono where you 20uf and a 30uf for filter.use a dual 50uf F&T there or a dual 100uf..50uf is more than adequate but I used a dual 100uf..
The other filter cap is the POS ground phono tube filament and negative bias filter cap..I just put three 220uf muses on a terminal strip along with a pair of uf4007s,
The rest of the amp I a combo of k40y and CDE PIOS on the outputs and drivers and in the feedback,and I put mundorfs off the preamp.
You want to use most of the original coupling caps as they a true film and foil and they sound great in most places an don't wear out..Now,there are several more parts but I have to detail it.
