Sorry, I just found your post with your preferred output tubes. The 6P3S-E from the 80's is slightly different from mine from the 70's and do not have gold pins. Interesting choice the Groove Tube Gold Series GT6L6GE (6L6GC), had never heard of those before. These look slightly larger than mine.
EXCLUSIVE GT design. The GE is a faithful reproduction of the original “clear top” 6L6. The flagship of the GT 6L6 line, it looks and sounds exactly like the original
G.E. tube used by FenderŪ in the ‘50s and ‘60s. It took more than four years to develop, and has stunning clarity and power. Our most recommended 6L6.

I've noticed people are using the 5V4/5V4G/5V4GA variants in the rectifier position. The closest I've been to those is my Brimar 5Z4 GY which is second choice for me against the trusty SE 274B MP. Can I use the 5V4 variants without issues in my Inspire KT88 SET with oversized (20 watts) transformers? Thanks to anyone offering feedback.
