Well
You did not say what exactly "too much current" stands for vs expected.
If you think it is too much so you have to worry about it, first see if the #59 cap is correctly polarised (plus on chassis).
Then see if your power xfmr draws any really significant current when plugged with the rectifier tube and the rest of tne tubes removed. Then start with output tubes and rectifier together, then keep adding others. See if any of them jumps the consumption.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
