"What if the tube is isn't operated in its most linear region so that some other parameter might be optimized but is otherwise never driven to cutoff or saturation?"
First, in a Class A amplifier the tube never reaches the non-linear cutoff region (or the non-linear saturation region) let alone actual cutoff (or actual saturation).
I'm really interested, what other parameter would be optimized by not biasing the tube in the middle of the linear part of the curve?
