Hi Steffen !
Basically I agree with Lew observation & opinion !
Just to add :
1) 155 VDC per PSU phase is little beat to high voltage for 6c33c-b power tubes , 100 - 120 VDC is much better choice .
2) Each 6c33c-b power tube Must have asociated cathode power W.W . load resistor of at least 1 ohm value , ( personaly I prefer 10 ohm W.W.power res. connected in parallel with 1000uF/35 VDC Elko for each 6c33c -b cathode ) .
3) Each 6c33c-b Must have asociated slow blow 1.2A fuse conected in cathode circuit .
4 ) Separate driver triode ( 1/2 of 6sn7 ) for each output 6c33c-b power tube is Much Better solution than common driver triode , since this approach allow exact separate output power tubes bias without to need close & precise match of 6c33c-b quad .
5 ) Single input differential cascoded voltage gain stage ( typical for Atma-Sphere OTL Amp-s ) is Much better solution than solution from your presented schematic from many reason .
6) Two ground reference resistors (R21-R22) have to small value ( 39R ) , I suggest there to be at least 330R / 5W values .
Best Regards !
