How did the PAS stay so clean and the ST-70 get so dirty? Just because of the cover?
I would have the tubes tested first. Just because they are rare and valuable does not mean they may still be any good. And again, i would consider new rectifier tubes and do all the upgrades you mentioned.But test test test first before blowing out a pack of mullards!

If I had a quad of Mullard EL34's (well actually I do!) I would buy some modern EL34 tubes to use while I sorted things out.

Mullards are a legendary tube. But truth be told there are several REALLY good new production EL34s now available. I was given a set of Shuguands (sp?) and was SHOCKED at how good these tubes are.
Personally I would store those vintage tubes for limited use. And get a good set for heavy duty listening use. I'm funny that way. I like to spare those oldies.
You give sound advice. I am planning on building an EL34 amp and will start with modern tubes, but I have to give the Mullards a try, just to see!
