RE: Well, I own a Dynaco SCA-35 ...

I bet they are not too far off in sound form tube rectifiers as earlier diodes like painful sounding IN4007's. At least they are painful to my ear.

You are 100% spot on..They are so quiet and so linear and they don't sag.
The Schottkys have been an absolute blessing.If people are smart,amps like the Dynaco ST70 should have the GZ34 removed and they should put in Schottkys. This will not only park the 5 volt winding and save stress on the power trans,they amp will run cooler and give you higher power and lower distortion..The GZ34 is pretty close to it's 250ma limit in the ST70 especially if you are running a three tube driver board.
