A bridge rectifier has 4 rectifiers. Are you saying you want to use it with 4 tube rectifiers??
What people normally do in such a situation is use two solid state diodes and one dual tube rectifier.
Must be a million on Google. Attached the very first hit with 'tube rectifier'.

Thank so much Jan.
I am not sure what are need HW rectifier tube x4 , because i assume that need four tube like solid diode. But this link will be helpful.

Have a loo here, the bridge with 4 dampers is used in almost all his designs. If you look in older Posts he shows the actual schematics. Hint: one has to pay attention to the voltage limits between heater and cathode.

Thank you .
That are used Damper tube of vinylsavor, and i have 4 X 3B28 half wave rectifier tube, and i think that be used for bridge. And i look impossible to do that.
 
You can use the 3B28 instead of the dampers. You will need several separated and well isolated secondaries to power the 3B28s. What is impossible in doing that
I'm sorry, I don't understand and confused, with the schematic with Half wave Rectifier with direct heater. because confused to get a CT (-).
Please can you provide a picture of the schematic example.
Thank you
