.. again, I am not a designer but, having a look on the 5U4 specs, there are several rating charts referred to the capacitor input.
typical operation say
Filter input capacitor 40 uF...
I think that at the time of this tube 40uF was really a high value, 470uF was not yet even in the dreams of designers...
I still remain in my opinion that 470 Uf may shorten a lot the life of the 5U4

Hi,
Only this is not typical operation, the cap is situated behind the choke, moreover this is also a hybrid rectifier.
If it were to be put in a "typical" CLC circuit the rectifier tube wouldn't last five minutes....
Cheers,
