Your photo brings back memories for sure. As I recall, the most I ever had was four 72,000 uf caps with each pair in parallel. That was back in the day of electronic surplus stores. I paid $5 each for those caps.
Just like you described, each time I increased the capacitance the sound was better. I wish I had spent more time though trying different supplies—for example, a full wave bridge instead of the doubler or a battery like Trevor Lees recommended. One thing I learned considerably later was the importance of using separate transformers for the heater supply and the B+. That is one of the easiest and most cost effective improvements to any piece of tube equipment.
