Don't you know that with a typcial tube amp the B+ voltage is going through the transformer? Why do you think these moderately high powered SETs (eg. 30 watts) have such huge output transformers?http://www.drtube.com/audioamp.htm#AN
The Ankoru has like 1275 Volts going through the transformer primary.
The Ongaku has 860V going through its primary winding.

The ARC VT 100 has 420 volts going through its pushpull designed output tranny.
I find it hard to believe you didn't know this already. The interesting thing about OTLs is that if they are properly balanced there is no DC on the output and this is a big part of what makes using an autoformer with an OTL different than a typical tranny connected tube amp.
