I would suggest removing the linear PSU section for the controller - instead it may be better to have an inefficient regulator from the full-rail DC line (rectified mains) which is switched out once the output has stabilized (handed over to a regulated supply derived from the output - i.e. an additional winding).
This should up the overall efficiency once the output has stabilized.

What's wrong with the low voltage bias supply? Do you have a better solution that is more cost ($, space, weight, reliable) effective.

See my above answer (posted a few moments before yours)
Given the output is fixed, there should be minimal need to regulate the controller supply - maybe a low-dropout linear regulator, or even an LC filter will suffice. The controller is a low current device and probably doesn't have highly critical voltage supply requirements - I would check the datasheet and see what its requirements are, then judge what to do based on that.

Good idea, but how well will it regulate? Do you need a series regulator in this case as well?
Let's see what S.G. Mahbub has to say.

Hello to all
Can this design be modified to work on 120Vac? My mains supply is 120 volts, and this smps is what I was looking for.
I have 3 etd59 cores, and want to make 2 active PA speakers, they will need 120volts ac on mains and +/- 65 or 70 volts dc, I'll need to change the turns ratio and the feedback network.
Any help on this?
Thanks

Easy, just use the voltage doubler trick you can find in any PC SMPS that has a 115/230V switch. I just clipped this out of the next best Google result:
