here is a circuit to use tubes like PCl86 82 PY82 88 on 6 volts heaters Google Vertaling
works really nice . although you might need to add a little series resistor . im seeing 17vdc from a 6vac winding drops to 15.5 on load ) you can get a higher output voltage by using low voltage drop diodes .
now there is no excuse not to use P tubes . you can serialize them . if you have odd voltages .
this circuit can be doubled whit more capacitors witch brings a cheap way of supplying HT to an amp project
have a good one suggestions are more than welcome

That is a simple voltage doubler. Will work fine, provided that people remember that it has a relatively high output impedance. To put it another way, it needs a low impedance secondary winding. The usual issue of DC vs RMS current means that trying to use, say, a 6.3V 2A winding to feed 16V at 0.6A could lead to disappointment.
