The high voltage regulator tube is the possible source of X-rays, not the rectifier. The rectifier has peak voltage across it when it is not conducting. As a shunt regulator, the HV regulator has the regulated high voltage across it when it is conducting, and current that varies oppositely to the CRT current.
