The SE34I.5 draws around 90 milliamps no matter what the volume setting. The transformer is rated at 170 milliamps at 170 degrees. So current is not actually a factor in the transformers temperature, it is more infrared heat from the rectifier tube washing the transformer that heats it up.
If you can hold you hand on it for 10 seconds, that is about 110 degrees. 130 degrees is normal, so you are well within the safe zone.
