Hmm, that is a very odd way of doing it! You're feeding the heaters with rectified (but un-smoothed) DC! The more logical (and presumably quieter) thing to do it to wire the heaters directly across the transformer winding (e.g., one heater between the end of the winding and the CT. Another heater between the other end of the winding and CT) not to ground.
