OK... how much current are you running?

going to a higher bias will reduce the current and at some point you will be running things too lean which means you need more voltage plate to cathode.

you could get a few more volts by replacing the 15K dropping resistors with a choke and of course a plate choke will put you in the other direction of having possibly having too much plate to cathode voltage.
