The input to the STR is way too low (your right, it should be about +150 volts or so and has to be above about 135 for the STR to regulate). So the problem apparently is in raw B+ supply. I don't have the diagram for that set, but usually there is just the bridge diodes, fusible resistor and/or fuse, main filter cap, etc. An open diode in the bridge could do this. If the HOT is not running hot, then it's probably not the problem. There may also be a resistor in the supply before the STR for current limiting that has gone up in value.
