RE: And even if it does result in 25% more power, how significant is that really.

Michael Samra, I disagree with what you said,"..You don't want to be pumping 430vdc into an EL84 because you will shorten the life of the tube and then you won't even make the rated power of an EL84 after a few months."

As long as the plate and screen dissipation are withing the rated spec, the tube will last just as long with the possible exception of an arc over due to the lower, 300v plate voltage rating.
