A 300 VA transformer is quite heavy. The idea is to put it in a
box on the floor and run the secondaries to your power supplies
via 4-way connectors. Since the connectors and cable will be
pre-filtering caps and pre-regulator, voltage drop doesn't matter.
You could probably get away with something cheap like a 4-way DIN
if your PS doesn't draw more than about 2 A on each rail.

locale, you would just have to rewire the primary.
