"...the simulation is inaccurate, looking at the wrong thing, or both..."
I think the simulation is looking at the right kind of thing, namely how the power supply responds to the kind of loading an SE amplifier might put on it. I'm not claiming that the simulation is completely accurate for the specific details of your rectifiers, etc. And the capacitor and inductor values may not be precisely those you would choose to use in your preferred supply. Those could easily be changed, of course.
But I think the broad features are going to remain qualitatively similar, even if some of those changes are made. If the supply has a resonance in the (low) audio spectrum, then it is going to exhibit some ringing also, in the low audio spectrum.
