I think the only problem with the silicon rectifier substitution is that the voltage drop is a lot less (less than 2 volts compared to 30-50 volts or so for the 5U4) so the DC voltage output will be higher than normal. The 5U4 warms up almost instantly so it also provides DC to the amplifier tubes before they are warmed up so on this aspect there should not be much difference.
