If I'm reading your question correct the Boost Rectifier is not the HV Rectifier/3A3 Tube. There is also a high voltage (generated by the flyback transformer) and it is a boosted voltage, ala B+ Boost voltage. Some sets will have a B+ Boost diode which is solid state and there may be one on your 15. Your chassis also has a solid state Focus Rectifier.
