Just use lower value caps in the multiplier and/or add a suitably rated resistor in series with each diode.

You also could leave the windings as is and feed the secondary voltage into a 
voltage multiplier. Still not very safe to wire up.

If you did wire it up, the available current would be pretty massive. I 
certainly would not attach it to an ion pump I cared about.

What is the operating voltage of the magnetron in a domestic microwave oven?
Although VERY HAZARDOUS, it might be possible to adapt the PSU from an old
one?

Yes, if you remove the transformer shunts and the filament windings and add 
more primary windings in the space you would get about 2700v with a full wave 
bridge. You also need to lift one side of the secondary that is grounded to the 
frame. Yes very dangerous and yes I'm luck to be able to tell.
