Just a rectifier and a cap and you're there from regular household current (not safe without galvanic isolation!!). But with a simple transformer you can go way higher. Some of the end stages on tube systems I had when I was a kid would sit at 500V when idling (EL44).

Usually as soon as you see a tube with a cap on top you know you have something pretty high voltage.
