One thing to remember about installing diodes in place of vacuum
rectifiers is that diodes only have about .7 volt drop across them in
the forward direction. A high vacuum rectifier can have many, many times
that, and so when you tack in the diodes, you actually raise the output
voltage of the power supply. This could cause consternation (and thus
failure) in such things as filter capacitors.
Keeping tubes where tubes were originally installed is not a bad
practice.
