Hi Enrique!

Have you considered to use diferent schematic maybe? I have one which you
can use maybe.. Tubes can be EL519(EL509), or PL519(PL509), which is the
same thing (diferent heating voltage only...). You can use as much of them
in parallel connection as you want, to acchieve the power you need.

If you want to see this schematic, let me know.

Nele
