37-116x - audio int trans - Why did it burn out?

Is the transformer physically charred? Then the answer is yes, the extra current overheated the windings. It wouldn't have melted the copper wire, but could have caused a break at a weakened (corroded) spot. The current couldn't have been too excessive, though; it was limited by the power transformer, rectifier, DC resistance of the primary, and the emission capability of the 6F6.
