No, you cannot do that. Not with varistors.

Again: what OTHER voltages? Are you talking of AC voltages? Why do you want to limit them?
There are only two AC voltages there and one of them is the filament, the other is the one to be rectified. And it is DOES NOT go anywhere before the tubes warm up so you in fact already have all other voltage lagging the 6.3Vac filament voltage.

Or am I missing something?
