You have a tube with a mu of 43 and a plate resistor of 2.5K which will throttle it back. You are putting on the gas and the brake at the same time. You could run the tube through a step-down interstage and not waste all the great current.If you want to know the current, just measure the voltage at the cathode and use Ohms law. If it is just a design wire it up with a 500 ohm cathode resistor and work down to get your desired operating point.
