The cathode caps increase the gain of the triode by reducing/removing feedback in a common cathode network like this amp.  Removing this cap will reduce the gain, therefore the saturation at each stage. That Lector schematic you linked to has kept the cathode caps to up the gain...but then put some pretty big plate bypass caps in to most likely shave off excessive treble frequencies or kill oscillation.

The hard part in all this will be figuring out how much gain and filtering will be required of each FET to accurately emulate the Orange amp.....without having one beside you to compare sounds.  But dammit I'm interested!!!
