Celsius, I think you do not take in your equation the input voltage. If you bias 6E5P with 4.1V then it can pass 4V with no feedback.  Since the tube has under normal circumstances 33 times gain then you have 132V RMS from your driver stage, wish is ...

I have never used EL34 in triode, but I think it is not hard to find acceptable examples of this fast, reliable tube, and with conservative bias it should let your 6E5P "shine through", if that's what you want.  Nothing like 811, 845, etc. in this re...
