I'll experiment with the PSU a little. The transformes have only 1 Ohm DCR
and total supply impedance for a channel would be ~ 45 Ohm (with two chokes in series) Imput choke looks like can take 1 A current!

Be carefully with the input choke that rated for 1A current. The inductance of a choke as I understand is rated for a nominal current. If you choke is 10H for instance at 1A and you will be driving it with 200mA then you might dive belong the critical inductance and it all will be worthless.

All Iron is mil quality and potted It is hard to pass iron like that and I'm poor .I may use a driver stage and build the power stage with EML 300B and KR 300BLX (15W bass only) leftowers from better times.

I don't quite understand what you do but if you are on budget and would like to "spill a little blood" then why you are tiring to build 3 channels of Melquiades? First of all the line lever crossovering might be quite complex. Second, what if it turns out that I am full of shit and Melquiades does not sound good? Would it be easer to build one properly operating Milq and then, if you understand and upreciate the result, to propagate the same sound across 3 channel? It is what I would do if I were you.
