This "floating" wire maybe the one which needs to connect to R20 and then another wire from R20 goes to C34, which is in the other smoothing can in front of the tuning cap, follow it and check, if so reconnect it to the rectifier output and you may have HT to the rest of the set.
I find it helps to take photos or make a quick sketch on paper before dismantling anything.
