This just seems to high to me, but it would explain why the fuse blew.
This is what I got based on what y'all suggested for calculating the size fuse to use.

845 10v x 3.25 x 2 = 65w
1000v x 0.09 x 2 = 180w

6au4 6.3v x 1.8 x 2 = 23w
1000v x 0.175 2 = 350w

el34 6.3v x 1.5 x 2 = 20w
400v x 0.1 x 2 = 80w

6n7 6.3v x 0.8 x 2 = 10w
300v x .009 x 2 = 6w

734w total/120 = 6.2 x 1.33 = 8.2 amps
so an 8 amp fuse is needed? Seems high
to me!
