My first tube amp (Soviet miniatures, ECC83, EL84 etc equivalents), I made it using fiberglass laminate PCB I etched myself, assembled it, plugged it in, started working on it and got zapped. 250VDC.

Somehow (and prior to it I was zapped by AC, 220V, numerous times) I felt DC was much more painful.
