The load can go pretty much anywhere with the following constraints:

It can run from a few piddling mA ( like in the Anticipation Upgrade) to (theoretically) as hot as 100 mA ( tho I haven't gotten it to do this right yet) with a big heat sink on the MJE 350

It can see up to 300V at the top (where the B+ comes in) of the load, no higher.

So you are talking about a situation where the loaded tube can run about 250 Vp max, which leaves you 50V of compliance (even 30V is enough compliance for the load to work) Naturally you would run correspondingly lower Vp if you need more than 50V of peak output from the tube.
