Replacing rectifiers with Schottky barrier ones that supposedly don't
generate reverse recovery transients from stored charge & minority
carrier injection - does that change the situation much even if you
don't use a regulator chip?

When designing/building amps myself I just used to shove small caps in
parallel with each bridge diode to eat the 'snap'...

However for me the main line of defence was a design that inherently had a
good amount of rail ripple/noise/interference rejection, and good earthing.
This means that even of HF rubbish gets through the PSU them amp will
largely ignore it.
