That's a bit on the high side, but not excessively so.

HP tended to let the linear regulators shave a big slice in
precision instruments, probably to make sure that absolutely
no ripple makes it through.

If I were you, I would ditch the transformer entirely, and go with
an external DC PSU and put a high-quality DC/DC converter in the
HP5065A
