Sounds silly, but would it work?

The arc would go out in more silent parts of the audio.

You could always amplify/volume level it, this sounds like a really cool idea.

Run a program that amplifies the soft parts and dampens the loud parts (think filter capacitor on half wave mains. only withot destroying the signal).

Transformers like that actually exist in the strange world of high end audio. Electrostatic speakers (about $10.000 a pop) require insanely high voltages to be driven, and they use output transformer that step the 30V or so from an audio amp up to about 3000V.
Pretty much any transformer would do though, all the old tube audio gear used transformers to match the high impedance tubes to low impedance speakers, and most of the time they just used the same laminations as the power transformers. Some clever winding to minimize stray capacitance does help though.
