I all but let the smoke out of the original rectifier by crossing a couple of wires in the rebuild--thankfully, I had a spare hanging about (And a Raytheon-branded tube, at that). The spare tested out stronger even to start with. I'll try swapping the wires out when I'm feeling adventurous (and have a few spare moments to devote to the pursuit). I guess I'm asking a bit of a useless question in wanting quantification when I'm the only one available to listen to the speaker.
All else fails, I'll swap the wires back.
