Before you go to the trouble of recapping the whole set, check to see if you have a short to ground on the B+ line with an ohmmeter. If the cap gets that hot, either you have a short across the power supply output or the cap has reverse polarity applied.

Its also possible you have a gassy or shorted rectifier tube which is putting AC into the first filter cap. Do you get a loud hum when the cap is overheating?
