There are plenty of forms available from different manufacturers, and by custom-winding your own, you can play with both output voltage and current. You don't really have to do that. There are plenty of transformers available on the surplus market including ones in this voltage range. For instance, I bought my voltage tripler supply as a kit from Halted Specialties in Sunnyvale and the transformer from H&R. (It was ~2500 V XFMR so I used a variac to supply the XFMR) You just have to know enough of the surplus companies! Maybe I'll make a list of companies when I get time someday.
