I'm looking at a Sansui 1000A schematic with a SS voltage doubler that
delivers 478 VDC. The doubler uses a pair of 200 MFD caps.

Would it be detrimental to increase us a pair of 500 MFD caps instead of the
200s?

I'd get some newer, higher rated (amperage) diodes. If you start
blowing even slo-blo fuses when you turn it on, you could use an
NTE thermistor on the transformer primary.

Would that have any possible effect on the output ?

You'll get a little more power at low frequencies 'cause the
PS won't sag as much under load, of course within the limits of
what the transformer can supply.

Further, what are the sonic implications of using an (actively) regulated
power supply with a tube or MOSFET pass element?

hmmmmm..I think I'l stick to answering *simple* questions.. ;-)
