"The cap competes with the output tube, and hogs the current when it comes time to recharge."
Only someone woefully ignorant of electronics theory and laws would say such a thing. The alternative to a low-Z filter cap is - as you apparently prefer - to conduct the insufficiently filtered ripple and noise from the AC line directly to the tube. All you've realy done is to devise the most expensive means possible to construct a poorly performing supply. There's a reason no respected audio pioneer has ever done this, and for you to believe that you've not only mastered, but in fact bettered, the proven designs of the past is nothing short of delusional. You're mad as a hatter.
