I thought maybe I ought to go upstairs and listen again before I post but then I may not get to the post. I think you have to be careful where you shine the light or you might just see a part of the animal and think that is the animal.
I would keep it simple and the SET might not win out completely in all areas but you may be able to ascertain some of what it is all about.
What worked for me was a 6sn7/300b with a fi primer 6sn7 circuit, ac on all of the tubes so you need hum pots, and the most interesting opts you can find. David slew Goliath with a simple stone and it does not take the best design to give you the insight you need. The only thing that can beat alluring is simplicity, purity, and substance.
The reason to want to listen first was to hear rock again on the 300b. I've been playing jazz on the 6sn7/300b and it's like being in the room at a live performance. The bass is a bass cello, not an electric bass.
I've listened to rock on the 45 and I can say it gives you the cream of the cream by the emphasis of the midrange. The 300b, at its best, is more ambient with less emphasis on the midrange. Both are really quite good.
These are about the best output tubes ever invented.
So its alot about using the finest ingredients like the best sounding output tubes ever invented, the first and most primal circuits discovered like the fi primer circuit, the best iron, and then breathing life into the amp with the ac.
