Balanced Differential to SE

I'm designing a power amp and need some advice.

The signal coming from the pre-amp is balanced, and I would like to use a differential stage at the input to the amp to diminish any common mode signals.

However, I want to go to single-ended for the driver and output stage. Can a transformer accomplish this? I'm thinking of something along the lines of the following (this is just a partial schematic):




The input tubes for the differential could either be something with a low plate resistance like a 6H30p or an ECC99, or I might consider a higher plate resistance tube (#26 or 6SN7) depending on what transformers are available.

Would the impedance seen by the transformer be twice the plate resistance of a single tube?

Please let me know if this general concept is feasible and what transformers might be available to accomplish it.

Thanks!
