Yep, it's easily do-able.
I was looking at implementing a inductor choke/standby/resistor choke using a single pole, double throw, centre off switch. You need a large Carling switch to do it. Some guys over at 18watt.com have already done it.

My next amp design will have a switch that changes resistor choke to inductor choke, removes the rectifier valve emulator resistor, while increasing the filtering, all at the same time to implement a vintage/modern power supply switch. This is possible by using a multi pole relay and a simple toggle switch.
I've already done the increased filtering and valve rectifier thing on the last amp I built and it work great, but they are seperate switches on that amp.
