tube amplifier power output

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I own an EL34 integrated push-pull 16/32 WPC UL/Triode mode type amplifier. I have seen EL34 push-pull amplifiers rated at 40 or 50 WPC running in UL (UltraLinear) mode only.

Could someone explain to me if my amp is running the tubes in parallel mode. Also, how can a tube rated at ~25 WPC yields 40 watts.

Regards,
