Plate dissipation is lower on the 6L6gc and the plate impedance is higher than the KT88. If your circuit is optimized for a KT88 and this depends on lots of things such as B+ voltage and output transformer impedance, you are probably losing about 30 to 40% of your power if I had to guess.If you have a scope and a signal generator, you can take a general measurement and get an idea what the power is but you won't know at what distortion level but you can at least see where the sinewave flattens out.
