Hello, Doug: just curious- what kind of voltage rating do you have to look for for your filter caps? Sounds like you would have to go with some relatively expensive units to handle the high voltages.

Also, are there more than the usual power resistors there, or maybe more with a higher than usual power rating?

Series capacitors do nicely to deal with high voltages with or without safety bleeders. Still use fuse! So a couple of'em blow and nothing is wrong, to the next value, and you're out just a little.
