The 12 watt mills can be had up to 100K. Most tubes that use high resistance are running very low currents, like 12AX7's. Aside from suggesting avoiding such tubes:).....just use a decent metal or carbon film resistor. I wouldn't use metal oxides for audio myself.
Mills does make 5 watt resistors and they can do for cathodes. Ohmite makes good ones as well as huntington. A good wire wound resistor is one of the best possible choices. You do want non-inductive for tube loads.
