Does the "modern" 274B rectifier still require 4uf as first capacitor?

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I've heard it said that the 274B is a drop in replacement for the 5U4.
According to the data sheets...yeah sure...if you want to fry your rectifier.
Need clarification on how to implement the modern 274B.
Thanks!
