Those charts really don't tell the story! On modern test equipment you would see a lot more information; the ear is very sensitive to the higher ordered harmonics as it uses them to sense sound pressure. That's pretty sensitive, because the ear has a range over 120dB.
Sorry, but the idea that any SET is lacking harmonic distortion above the 4th just isn't reality. I've linked a stereophile review below, which is more typical of what you actually see.

- Yes- higher orders at only 80dB down will be audible as brightness and harshness. - Ralph 15:00:37 10/28/20 (2)

- He did up to the 14th. - Tre' 13:24:09 10/26/20 (1)
- Any of the odd orders above the 5th are bad! - Ralph 14:06:43 10/26/20 (0)
- Yes. He didn't show the upper harmonics on the pentodes either, not by a long shot! nt - Ralph 11:58:28 10/26/20 (0)
