A transformer (and this coming from Robert Fulton too, I also knew him) does exactly what its name implies. It *transforms* impedance, and this goes both ways.
So if you load the 8 ohm tap with a 4 ohm load, the load impedance on the power tubes will be drastically cut! Don't think it will stay the same- that is a common myth.
