That is a 2 by 38VAC, 625VA transformer. Dual 117VAC primary. If you contact them they will normally wind for whatever voltage you want for litte to no extra money. So getting 42 or 45 volt secondary should not be a problem.Yes I would get a screen and no I would not get cobalt. It almost always helps to have a transformer capable of 150 to 200% of actual current draw. I can offer no science for this but can say it certainly sounds better to me.
Don't overlook good, fast, big caps with nice slew rate times. It has been a long time since I built solid state stuff but back then Siemens sikorel was a fantastic cap. Hard to find, not many sizes, and not cheap, but performance/specs much better than anything else. But time marches on and they might not be the best anymore.
