The 6550 is a rugged tube, but it is also a pricey one, and class A will cook them pretty quickly.The real question on a given amp is whether the power supply has enough oompah to support all that extra current on a continuous basis. If the PS was designed for use with a Class AB power stage, probably not.
The other factor would be the extra heat that would be generated, and whether the amp chassis, cabinet, and other circuitry could tolerate it.
Just my 2 cents!
