The best high current PS I have seen uses the same topology as the GE
1-compactron one but uses several 6080 (6AS7) in parallel.

6080s are good for this. I used to have a regulated supply from an old
Ampex VR-1000 (2" reel-to-reel VTR) that delivered 250V at 6.5A.

I have an
old transformer I am saving for that kind of thing that puts out
650Vct at 850mA. I have a TV transformer that is 550 at 250mA, but it is
being saved also. That's alot of iron.

At the end of the day, the transformer is goung to be the biggest (and
certainly the heaviest and most expensive) single component.

Quality does not come cheap.
