Using the next higher value should not be a problem. For instance, substituting 33uf for 22 uf is OK. The higher value may be a little larger physically. I would not go more than twice the spec'd value. Check the B+ voltage after you're done recapping to make sure it's within reason. A little higher than spec'd is OK (pretty common, actually, since line voltages are somewhat higher now).
