"As a practical matter, the filament transformers must be insulated for
the PIV."

	That's the main problem with tube-type HV rectifiers.  You
need insulated transformers for each separate cathode voltage on
the tubes.  Also, a lot of those heftier HV tube rectifiers use
pure tungsten filaments and take many amps of filament current!
