Shouldn't the drivers be on the main heatsink?
No

Your PCB also has different components than Mr. Apex's schematic. Did you make modifications to it? If so then it would be a good idea to post the updated schematic as well.
There is 2 versions of AX9.
First schematic in post #10156,PCB #10167http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/164093-100w-ultimate-fidelity-amplifier-post5374014.htmlhttp://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/164093-100w-ultimate-fidelity-amplifier-post5373747.html
and second (Dragan100 mod) schematic in post #10183,PCB #10191.
 
Mr. Mile,
Can this super simple softstart work for your high power amps? Like BX-22 and SR 200 etc?

Very few components.
Ckt is from TI app note

Layout has 100mil cl for high voltage traces.

regards
Prasi

Yes, but there is simplier soft start circuit from B500 thread. Use zener diode instead resistor for sharp switch.
