Choke power supplys in Comp Symmetry BJT power amps

Granted I'm not a school trained EE. But it seems to me that just a bridge rectifier and two big caps 10,000 ufd, 100v computer grades and maybe a snubber .1 ufd is not enough CLEANING. Some fierce charging current is going on that makes a rather dirty noise floor. Why aren't chokes and solid state regulation (ripple filters) applied to BJT complemetary symmetry power amplifiers? Some say it eats up the damping factor like gang busters. Appears to me that each stage of an amp needs it's own bipolar power supply ripple filter, the input and driver stage more so than the output stage. Anyone used solid state regulation in the C-S BJT amp? Ray
