I am not a big fan of using power transformers as chokes, but might work fine. The power transformer works with AC (ecpecially those centertapped) and the choke works with DC bias.
Make sure the primary is supposed to withstand 100-120mA (it likely is, as this would make it 12-14W and the xfmrs are larger).
Either clip or reliably wrap in insulation the secondaries. Those could have large voltages across them.
Again, the 1st capacitor after the rectifier should not be increased. After the choke it can.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
