Does it have to be a GTB in your application?

RCA VT-231 may fit your "creamy, tubey" sound if VT-231 can substitute. You can also try Kenrad VT-231.

I have several pairs of 6SN7/VT-231 as well as GTB and GTA tubes. For me, the sleeper is Raytheon VT-231 between the lushness of RCA VT-231, the detail of Sylvania short bottle 6SNW, and the bold and big soundstage of Tungsol VT-231 at a budget price. In some applications, circuit dependent, it sounds much better to me than the popular Sylvania Bad Boys 1952.
