Why does the cathode bypass cap always use high-voltage in tube amps?

The .68uF caps on the Valvestorm website are voltage rated from 100V to 250V------- they may be somewhat overrated for the cathode bypass position in V1 (one side) of an old Marshall design but they are not 600V-630V rated components:
