"It's clear that good linearity can be gained at many different operating points where power is not a prerequisite."
I think I've left myself misunderstood.
While I think choosing the most linear operating condition is in keeping with the intent of Class A that is a different thing than choosing not to bias in the middle of whatever dynamic curve your chosen load impedance provides.
The sim tool linked below can show you what I mean.
The outside left arrow will change the load impedance and idle current.
The inside left arrow will change the load impedance only and the top white arrow will change the bias point (quiescent plate voltage and current) along that load line.
Note, keep the yellow arrow (grid swing) somewhat minimized to start with or it will limit what you can do with the other controls.
Watch the HD in the readout below as you make your adjustments.
