The proof would be to do destructive testing of the amp, that would be a bit silly for a one off design.
I have blown the fuses on occasion and I have never lost a tube. Like I say, that limited data really isn't "proof" but if a tube can't handle 100mA for the length of time it takes a fuse to blow the tube has a problem anyway.
