Default Can I use different value cap?

Hey tube people,
My amp needs new PSU smoothing caps.The current ones have leaked and look a bit depressed.

The 50u 450V I can get OK.
The 40,40,30@450V,400V,350V I cannot get.

I have been offered a 40,40,40@525V,will this do or will extra value of third cap affect the 250V supply voltage?

Here is a pic of my PSU

Your proposed replacement cap should be just fine in all respects.
