Huh? They've got 272 of the NC6-P107-06 in stock right now.
edit... By the way, whose output transformers are you planning to use?

I wouldn't. Some will tell you it is OK, since the normal working voltage is well below 400V (plate voltage on the 6SL7GT should be around 150VDC). However, if you have a "no-load" condition on the power supply you might see as much as 1.414 * 330 = 466 volts. Granted, this is unlikely, but I prefer to err on the side of caution.
You could use the yellow Mallory caps. They won't win any awards in the "boutique capacitor" contest, but I've seen them suggested for other amp builds. Part number is 539-150224J630LE
I haven't seen these used before, but the Xicon seems to be an Orange Drop look-alike. Mouser number 1429-6224
The CDE caps appear sufficiently exotic. Print a self-adhesive label that says "Audiophile" and wrap it around the side. Mouser number 5984-940C6P22K-F
The Wima MKP box caps are high quality, but they're pricey too. Mouser number 505-M10.22/630/5
I used the surplus Russian K40Y caps, rated at 1000V. They're way too big, but I stuffed them in anyway. I ended up crossing the left and right channels (left side of the 6SL7GT actually goes to the right side 6B4G) but you can't really tell because of how I wired the input jacks.
