Pull out the rectifier tube and replace it with a new known good one. Try it again. If the problem remains, the rectifier tube was not faulty.
The state of tubes being what it is today, NEVER trust a new Chinese or Russian tube until it has had some burnin time. Once the amp is working, let it idle for a few hours to see whether the new tube is going to go south, too.
