I used a similar Hammond 290CX power transformer in my 6AV5GA SE amp build, it produces about 400VDC under a 90-100 mA load,
which would be excessive for the EL84s in the Budgie SE build, which normally operates with B+ voltage around 325VDC.
The 290CAX would be more suitable for use in a Class AB1 EL84 / 6P14P-EV, or 6L6GC push pull single channel amp.
The larger 290CX has a B+current rating of 180 mA, and the 6.3VAC filament has a current rating o\f 4 Amps.
