capacitance with a 100VA transformer


I have a +/- 15V power supply. It uses a 100VA transformer to drive a buffer stage with gain.

The capacitance at present is about 3300uF. Is there any reason why I should not increase this to 4400uF? What is the maximum capacitance this 100VA will bear?

Thanks.

Is it safe for me to increase the capacitance to 4400uF or, even better, 6600uF? I don't have the tehnical knowledge to work out the answer.

The reason for the query in the first place is that I have a VERY SMALL amount of hum, and have had this since the caps were installed (new) when the unit was built. I am hoping that increasing the capacitance will eliminate this.
Perhaps I should have added that the IR Hexfred rectifiers used in the PS are rated at 8A 600V
