Also agree, SETs can sound wonderful thru the midrange but I've never heard one do bass with any authority.
Follow Ups:
Try a KR Audio Kronzilla SX or VA680 sometime or even the VA350i and you will hear a SET that can do real bass.
The Cary's 805B had Bass and drive, well only if the speakers being used had Bass and Drive, if not for a change of speakers they would still be in house....

Slam and impact galore are a byproduct of 2.5kV power supplies, one per channel. 400J of energy storage per channel can really move a woofer!
I would be more inclined to think it has more to do with your beastly output transformers! My JJ-322 has big output iron for a 300B amp and it has control and slam in the bass that I had not heard from 300B before.
That being said I think the rest of your beastly power supply never let's that tube sag when the demand is on...
Here are the OPT cores before potting, with a metric ruler and an ECC83 for scale:
Now that is what I call a transformer!
BTW, like the Infinities...I used to own IRS Betas...
Max,
Nothing like big bwoy amps, Cab should experience them and get out of the clipping Channel.
A big boy with one output tube at least stands a good chance of sounding good...unlike the forrest of tube usually required...and of course the flawed concept of push/pull.
Yep , Max built himself a monster .....
