Can I use a 120V Variac to get 220V?

Thanks for the (mostly helpful) replies, guys.

Applying each one of the two ends of the 220V coil of the transformer
to the 220V legs of the amplifier plug made sense. I guess I was
mostly wrestling with how to handle the gounded / grounding lug of the
amplifier plug.

Gary said to just leave it floating, but wouldn't grounding it be safer?
