Hi FenderLover,
Yes, you have a valid point about the 5Y3 family of tubes being what I'm looking for. My Tung Sol 5Y3GT was made in the 1950s and comes with "D" getters and black plates.
I'll grab a couple of 5Y3s from various manufacturers and experiment along those lines.
As for the PS schematic, unfortunately the only schematic I have is what I've posted when I started this thread.
I've read many great reviews of 5R4 rectifiers but the max 4uf capacitor issue is the one thing which is keeping me from trying it out in my amp.
