Vince,
Your talking apples and oranges. What you did during breadboard checkout is not the situation in a working amp. Think about what happens at turn on in the real world. A surge of current occurs into ALL the cold filaments. However, no current flows in the rectifier winding. After 30+ seconds, the 6AU4s will SLOWLY start to conduct. You can bank on the signal tubes being fully warm and ready to conduct, by then. So, neither a voltage spike in the PSU filter, nor a current spike in the rectifier trafo will occur.
