The 211 is a 75 watt tube.
If you shoot for 80% of max dissipation at idle, that would be 60 watts.
At 1000 volts plate to cathode, that would be 60mA (60mA*1000v=60watts) per tube.
Grid voltage around -60 volts will get you about 60mA at 1000 volts per tube.
If you employ fixed (adjustable negative grid bias), you can set the current draw where you want. "Deep Class A" simply refers to the idle current with respect to maximum tube rating.
The data sheet is your friend.
