I dunno... Fender has been putting 3kv diodes on the output primary halves for some time. I was amazed to find the same on the 50 watt and 60 watt cheapie Sovtek amps too. I'm not sure it a quantitative amount of help can be claimed tho.  
 
I've a question: Does putting in the diodes on the PT mess up the B+ voltage any? Or is it insignificant?
