The reason for increasing the size of the output coupling cap to .22UF might be just for that reason of DC blocking but it also increased the bass rolloff to a lower frequency. I'm sure the preamp can handle it.
My suggestion would be tofollow the Curcio instructions right to the letter but in my opinion I have a better circuit that was used many years back by Audio Dimensions in the Tu Be or Not Tu Be manual. I did like the results much better than stock but I think you had to increase the B+ to 400VDC. They tell you how in their manual. And if I am not mistaken there was no global feedback which is a huge plus IMHO.
I would rebuild the preamp you have using the values listed on your schematic without the feedback loop and see how it sounds, also increasing the output coupling cap to .22UF.
