Someone metioned ham gear.
Tubes that are quite close but with higher power ratings are the 3-400Z and the 3-500Z. Both are very popular with ham linear amplifiers.
Look for used ham linear amps that use two of these tubes. This will get you a chassis with two sockets and enough heat convection plus a quality high-voltage power supply and filament supply. In most cases you'll get some sort of metering as a bonus.
You could "clean up" the RF components to find space for the driver tube(s) of your audio amp. The only "missing link" is the output transformer. There is no perfect world... :-)
Taking this approach you'll end up with a big monoblock amp that will leave people in shock and awe while costing way less than a WAVAC...
