More output tubes will mean more exposure to possible tube failures. ARC does not fuse the output stage and given the size of the power supply in this amp if a tube does fail it can really cause a lot of damage, expensive repair. The circuit is identical to the VT100 except for power output so a VT200 will no more eat tubes than a VT100.

This amp is a monster in terms of size, weight, heat output, etc. Not sure it will be a meaningful step-up from the VT100. I think you would have to step-up to the REF300 to really make a difference.
