Let us say that I have a circuit that needs 120mA. My rectifier tube can handle max. 100mA.
Is it possible to use eg. two 5AR in parallell for twice as much current?
How should they be wired up?

Yes, you can parallel them if you're careful about the cathode connection. There's conflicting advice from reliable sources about whether it's better to parallel a pair of plates in one tube or to pair plates from the two different tubes- that means both connection possibilities will work fine.
