2 5U4Gts would take about 6A (3A x2), so if the 5v secondary winding was out, it would indeed take a beefy replacement to light the tubes safely, but keep in mind, the cathodes are always going to be at full LV bias potential, and thus isolated from all else, so the booster on the CRT must be for some other reason, cause it most likely is 6v and not tied to that line.
