"Can I lower the 470 ohm resistor in the tail of the cascodes...

... to get more gain ?

Yes. I tried local feedback as you describe for many years on and of - but always came back to no feedback with triodes. But if you (insist) on using pentode connection then it will be a big help - and certaainly will sound far better than using loop feedback!

Be aware that with the 100k F/B r's in place - your anode voltage will go up and you may need to change the running current to ensure the driver anode V is still at the optimum level for maximum driver swing and minimum distortion.
