Paul, 6E5P may strech very much, but maybe just enough to close the gap.  In such a racing car there is a little margin, it's not a usual 10W+ design. Biased at -3.5V 6E5P will produce +40Vmax on the grid, driver driven to the limitThe grid will eat ...

Celsius, I think you do not take in your equation the input voltage. If you bias 6E5P with 4.1V then it can pass 4V with no feedback.  Since the tube has under normal circumstances 33 times gain then you have 132V RMS from your driver stage, wish is ...
