"some amps have two 220uF in series for a whopping 110uF capacitance."
 
 
just for comparison, the baga has a filter cap bank of eight 500 mic @ 500 WVDC LCR caps. they are run in series/parallel for a total effective capacitance of 1000 mics at up to 1kv of voltage.  
 
DON'T try this with a tube rectifier!  
 
the bass is very controlled and powerful though, and hum is minimal even at full tilt.
