RE: 6AQ5 PP amps

3 ways will be tough. OTOH, triode/UL switching usually works out OK. In the case of 'AQ5s, with their fragile screen grids, a 1 KOhm resistor to connect g2 to either the plate or the UL tap ensures that dissipation is not excessive. The fragility of g2 is the key difference between a 6AQ5 and a 6V6. Don't expect miracles of heat handling from the little 7 pin mini package.
