Cary V12r & tube questions

How hard does the Cary V12r drive the EL34 tubes? I recall reading somewhere it does not drive these tubes very hard, squeezing out 50wpc from 6 tubes (per side). What is the life expectancy for the EL34 in this circuit. Also, how hard is the EL84 driven when used as current source for the 12BZ7? What is the life expectancy for the EL84? Will tube rolling the EL84 have that much effect on the sound?

Thanks in advance,
Spike
