Well, the Stromberg I restored is exactly that. The chassis is RF, the GND is direct AC plug pin.
They are still connected via 0.2uF cap which makes the chassis kinda hot. But formally it is considered floating.

The Emerson was real hot chassis - both RF and the rectifier negative are an AC plug pin.
