...but perhaps your point about 20 ga wire on a 1 amp UF4007 does. I don't know what gauge wire the average transformer manufacturer uses to feed the plates of a 5AR4, but as long as it meets the current handling requirement necessary, where does your comment about it not making sense enter into it? The charts I just looked at indicate 20 ga wire is good for 1.5 amps, which is more than adequate.
As for your "don't use a Sovtek", I suppose that's one way to look at it. But from a belt and suspenders approach, as long as adding the diodes does no harm, then using them on a $100+ NOS Mullard is inconsequential, other than the bit of work to add them to the socket. Once the diodes are added, you have more tube choices, which to me is a good thing.
