Heat. They dissipate heat in triode mode

64.253.163.66

Smart-ass answer aside, I think the maximum plate dissipation doesn't depend on the mode the tube is being run in. However, another concern is screen current. You may need a resistor or other device to limit the screen current. The curves should show you whether you need to worry about that or not.

I like EL-34s. I'd like to hear how they sound as triodes. Good luck!
