The solution below may not be the cheapest design for multiple
supplies but for a one off the junk box could provide the parts.

Take 3 transformers f.e. 110V/24V with f.e. a 10VA rating .
Serialize the primaries and parallel the secondaries.
Watch out for correct phase.
Take a fourth transformer 110/24V with at least 3x10VA rating.
Connect the lot back-to-back, i.e. connect the 24V winding of
the no.4 transformer to the paralled 24V windings of the triple.
Mains input is on no. 4, a 330V output on the serialized triple.
Give safety a thought, use split bobbin transformers.

Rgds,
Jan.
