I thought the Electro Voice Circlotronic circuit was a transformer coupled design derived from the "unity coupled" concept (ie... a competitor with Mc).Furthermore you say that "Both need banks of output tubes to develop power." I thought the banks of "output tubes" were used to lower the output impedence, not to develope the initial voltage swing in the output section.
Finally, though I totally agree with your autoformer statement, I think it is misleading to state that SE topologies have a single output device because this power tube is coupled through a transformer and the amp is is suceptable to any vagueries in the output tube, transformer, speaker interactions.
