An exact clone is not possible without the Eico audio transformers.
The EZ81 is an excellent rectifier tube for lower wattage output amplifiers. I prefer the higher current capacity Mullard GZ34, but is expensive.
I replaced rectifier tubes in DIY amplifier designs and find better performance using low noise SS rectifiers with a low DCR design power supply.
I believe a modern 'clean sheet' design would perform best. I recommend the readily available Dynaco clone audio transformers from Triode Electronics.
