The only real electrical difference between the 6V6 and the 'AQ5 shown in the schematic is g2 toughness. The screen grid in a 6V6 is tougher than that in an 'AQ5.
You have stated that you have 6V6s. Build with them and reduce the g2 "safety" resistors to 100 Ω. In order to use the low grade O/P "iron" the schematic shows, triode wiring was essential. You have terrific "iron" and can build with UL/triode mode switches. Also, your superior O/P trafos allow the I/P high pass filter to "corner" slightly below 20 Hz.
A full set of power magnetics can be ordered from Allied Electronics. I'll provide stock #s, if you ask.
BTW, the current production "reissue" TungSol 6V6 is excellent. You would be good to go for many years to come.
