AC taps in general are rare on brick power supplies because for the last 30 years or so there have only been a handful of mainstream pedals that run on AC power. The Whammy is the only one to commonly grace boards and most people just put the wall wart on the back of their PP2 before Pedaltrain added the brackets for putting the power supply under the board.
The Yankee power supplies have some AC taps although they are extremely expensive compared to the competition. Voodoo Lab makes the PP AC which would work if you have a lot of AC powered pedals. Both options are pretty substantial costs for avoiding a wall wart on your board.

Yankee Power Supplies.
I bought the HMS24 (your red monster of lore) and I've literally not run out of blocks since then. 3-5 of the taps can be switched to AC, and every output is greater than 400mA. A little pricey, but I can put every pedal I care to on my board without consideration for power now, and it was not like that before.

Email their US distributor (if you're in the US) and they might be able to cut you a deal!
