RE: By Jove i might have forgotten to install a grid leak resistor! nt

My output transformers are some vintage Revox which measure right around 5K primary impedance. With a 5V4 rectifier and vintage Kenrad 6V6GT the B+ is 265vdc which ends up as 255v at the anode. G2 voltage is 254v.
For the 6SL7 the anode voltage is 142v and the cathode measures .71vdc (422 ohm resistor). If I install some 390 ohm resistors for the cathodes will that give me more drive and perhaps more power? Thank you for your assistance and advice, cheers, Dak
