"I can not imagine the coating will act the same"

I would think that some VTs could have their coating degraded within a minute or two at 2X the voltage. At that point, it's no longer a question of how long the tube will last as much as whether it still functions properly. A test for peak current capability might indicate that significant degradation has occurred in the scenario being discussed.
