Descent sized toroidal power transformers are usually the ones that buzz, vibrate, from DC offset on the AC mains. As a rule EI transformers do not buzz, vibrate, because of DC on the mains.
I think the power transformer in the OP’s amp is a bobbin transformer. I couldn’t find any info on how they react to DC offset on the mains.
