The tone ctl caps, if used in the tone-compensation scheme against the volume regulator, or in any circuit other than direct conenction to the plate of the output driver (across the primary of the audioxfmr) could be low voltage, and the sole reason I use 630V ones is because I do not want to have various voltages while I can have just one for every use.
However those used across the primary of the output xfmr, use higher voltage to withstand a possible flashover when a speaker disconnects.
My personal take on it, if the speaker is pluggable, I would use 1000V (1600V is good, but 1000 is enough).
However in a hardwired speaker this is even less likely to occur (not highly probable in the first place) and so I use 630V without thinking twoce about it.

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.
