20/20/20/40 can cap in princeton reverb

so im considering using this can cap in a blackface princeton reverb build. Should the 40uf cap be the one that connects directly after the rectifier? being that it is stronger than the original, would there be concerns that it would be difficult for the rectifier to keep up? I like the idea of a princeton reverb with a firm spank on the low E, so this was my solution. Am I on the right track here? Thanks folks.

No problem with using the 40u on the 1st cap. Probably better.
If it says "Vintage" on it, -it isn't.
