So lets see now.
You said you have 220 volts on the right side of R56 and 25 volts on the left side(pins 5-6 of the 5AQ5).
That's 195 volts being dropped across your 470 ohm resistor.
195 volts divided by 470 ohms = 415 ma or nearly a half amp trying to pass though R56, a measly half watt resistor.
You have nearly a dead short to ground on the left side of R56. There is only 3 paths that current can be flowing from that point to ground, and only 2 which I can foresee that much current could be flowing, and honestly only one unless your 5AQ5 is glowing cherry red.
I seriously suggest you double check your newly installed capacitors, even if they do appear correct they may have failed. First off simply lift one leg of C3-B and see if your B+ comes up.
Edit - there is also the very unlikely possibility that your output transformers primary winding is shorting to ground, which you could verify by checking resistance from it's red B+ lead to it's mounting frame.
