AWG 20 and 22 are quite enough. AWG22 will take up to 7 Amps for chassis wiring and this covers most radios even with old tubes. I would not use it in Philco 20 or 70 or 90 if used in non-star topology to wire filaments of 24A and 27 tubes as that could be about 10A (can be used as a star).
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.
