The amp you are interested in is going to use output tubes bigger than 6BQ5's, so you must want at least a 7591 based stereo amp. The problem is that if you convert the output tubes to triode operation, you are going to lose half your power. So, your 20watt amp is now a 10watt amp. There are benefits to triode operation, but efficiency isn't one of them.
