You can not get directly to 40 kV with a doubler because with NST and center
tap ground you would have to "float" one terminal of the output above
ground.  If you want a single ended (grounded) output then you can use a
tripler with NST in a 1/2 wave output.

Even better, just use a single ended 9 kV 30 mA NST and a tripler or
quadrupler circuit to get nice single ended output (one side at ground
potential).  38 kV with tripler and 50 kV with quadrupler.

Each diode needs to be rated at 2.8 x Erms.
