How best to drop ~180V?

I have a tube power supply that is putting out 520VDC. I need 350VDC
(at ~80mA) maximum. I am trying to think of a creative way to drop the
voltage. So far, here's my list:
* find a really big regulator IC
* massive resistive voltage divider
* massive diode voltage dropper

Any thoughts?
