I see what you mean. I was aware of the danger of confusing amplitude with RMS, when calculating plate current with signal applied. For that reason, using LTSpice, I measured the RMS current flowing through the voltage source that feeds the OPT center tap. This was during maximum signal, at 1kHz, averaged over a time period of 200ms, and I got a figure of 250mA (this excludes the screens, which are fed from a separate voltage source).I now doubt that the figure LTSpice gave me was, in fact, the correct RMS current. Either the simulator is wrong, or I misinterpreted it. From your example, the RMS plate current over the two tubes at max. output is ~175mA.
Thank you for putting me straight!
