"The AC circuit is entirely isolated from the chassis."
No, it's not. The schematic doesn't show the capacitance to the chassis from any of the primary components. Most power transformers that aren't hospital grade leak enough current to the chassis to kill a person who comes between the chassis and ground. It's unconscionable to build and sell a tube amp without a three-wire power cord.
