Hi!

Were a friendly group - what's your real name? 

It sounds as though you're looking to make a hard tube modulator. One
tube that would do the trick is a 6C21 - this tube was previously used
in RADAR as a hard tube modulator. A real monster of a tube, it's rated
at 30 kV and 15A (peak)...  :^) 

Best regards,
