Hi again!
With today's on average higher wall outlet volages then when these amps where first made I would go with the 50 volt rated filters.

With the cheap price of these parts get two different Uf value of filters and audition them in the amp and let YOUR ears be the guide.

What will help out the most for added warmth will be to replace the power supply diodes with fast recovery types and a speaker with a frequency peak at more like 1K and not 2K.

It's also cheap with a solid state amp to play around with bypassing these two power supply filters with a a pair each consisting of a .022uf and .22uf cap.
The common Orange drop types are fine for this and you only need a rating of 100 or 250 volts whichever you find works best for your wallet.
