Going to higher capacitance means also higher inductance hence slower response to rapid current demand. It will also reduce ripple and that might not be a good thing, since very low ripple, especially when combined with low ESR means very high and very narrow current spikes charging capacitors and that might couple to any inductance in the rest of the circuit. I would agree with
kosst_amojan and would not try on my own to redesign an amp. In some cases it might work in other it could make it worse (or damage rectifier).
Bypassing slow large inductive caps with fast low ESR cap might be not the best idea, since it creates parallel resonance circuit that might ring. Better option would be to get low inductance electrolytic caps (like slit foil type), but they are expensive. Better yet is not to "redesign" something that works just fine. There is also an issue of reselling such "improved" amp.
15 year old capacitors, unless they are in very warm place, should be good for another decade.
