It seems the first valve runs at (220V - 120V)/20K = 5 milliamps and the 17.6K resistor drinks 1.1mA of that, leaving 3.9 mA for the JFET. So you want an N channel JFET whose Idss > 4mA and whose BVdss > 19.5 volts.

Those would include the PMBFJ110 (same input transistor as used in the legendary Mark Levinson JC-2 MM preamp!), J109, J113, 2SK170, and PN4393. diyAudio's pet device BF862 is only rated for 20V, I wouldn't use it without hand testing lots of units and picking the one with highest observed BVdss.
