The question concerns rectifier ratings. I've been under the assumption that the Mullard GZ37 I'm using tops out at 350mV current, but digging into the spec sheet, it looks like that's for choke input. Capacitor input tops out at 250mV.
Then again, I've seen comments that the tube is highly underrated, and should actually be capable of around double that at least.
Here's a link to the spec sheet ...

My take on it ...
Loosely interpreted, the Dynaco circuit is capacitance input. A capacitance input "pulses" the rectifier, which is what stresses it and makes for fireworks. Dynaco's design minimizes capacitance yet compensates for that with larger chokes. Where chokes are primarily there to filter the AC component out of the DC, in this case, they do double duty to smooth out the pulses, reducing the stress on the rectifier itself. The ST120 does increase capacitance, but well within what one would think of as reasonable limits to allow the higher output while staying within the design.
I've seen comments that the GZ37, "properly choked", should be able to handle up to around 700mA current. I interpret that to read the tube should be able to take anything any of the Latino amps can throw at it, even with a quad of KT120's at 60mV per tube ...
