12ma is quite a bit in a circuit that draws ~18mA total. The transformer is rated at 20mA, so I would say you are outside the margin by a bit.

The C4S boards in the SEX and the Seduction will compound to make quite a bit more gain, but you can get more if you need it. I suggest doing all the C4S mods before anything, but if that isn't enough, go ahead and modify the SEX amp for 6EM7's. (See the manual for the resistor change, and up the 1000uf 35v cap to 1000uf 50v, then change the R1 on the SEX C4S boards to 1k). The EM7 has loads more gain, and it may just get you there.

If all of the above doesn't work, there is always the Quickie!
