Adam, good question. Maybe, it's just a simple case of saving space for application where a lot of current is not needed. Making big transformers for voltage sake only, prolly was $$$ even in their heydays of the 1950-60's.
I've seen doublers in "good" amps. Like Macs and high-end Marshalls. I know that big amps (100 watts+) that have no doublers, like that Hiwatt I'm going to tackle have BIG PT's. Looks like 2/3rd of the cost of the amp is in the PT and OPT.
