I would just put a fuse in the primary lead of the power transformer and stop worrying about it. This applies either to the 6X5 tube or a replacement silicon rectifier.

Rate the fuse marginally higher than the maximum current draw of the radio under normal operation. If the rectifier should short, it will blow the fuse within a few seconds, protecting the transformer from any sustained overload.
