Check ALL resistors for in-tolerance values. Change any that are outside +/-20%. Sounds like audio stage or stages have a grid bias problem maybe and the high amplitude audio is clipping and being distorted. A scope would show this instantly.
Be sure electrolytic cap 46 (when it was changed) is wired properly; POSITIVE lead is grounded (see schematic) in this NEGATIVE bias circuit. Also value checks on resistors 62, 63, 54, 55, 46, 57. These can all shift the 1st. audio and P-P output tube's grid bias.
