PA060 filament current?

I was looking around for the filament current rating on the 6.3v taps of the PA-060 power transformer, and I read somewhere that it is 3a, but that the upgrade transformers available are 5a to give some headroom and to run cooler. But just looking at the data sheets for the EL34 and 7199, the total draw is 3.45a, which exceeds the 3a spec. Is that spec incorrect? Or how did it get away with it in an original ST-70?
