Two back-to-back silicon diodes (Rectifier 205 in GPO parlance) can be connected across the receiver terminals as a clipper to prevent acoustic shock from transient clicks. Such a refinement isn't essential, but was fitted as standard on later instruments (746) with the more sensitive balanced armature receivers. A couple of 1N4001 or whatever will do, if you feel the need.
