I think you misunderstand. The single diode is to drop the voltage
_into_ the 5AR4, thereby reducing the size needed for the dropping
resistors. The effective output ripple should be neither greater nor
worse than straight AC. So, 0.707 x input Voltage = output voltage from
the winding. A big drop, no heat generated and load still removed from
the winding.

Peter, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this but your slip is
showing. The above statement is utter nonsense, would you care to explain
it further?
