Looking into some Push Pull Output Transformer models,
for example Dynaco ST70 A470
.SUBCKT A470 P1 Sg1 B Sg2 P2 Sp1 Sp2
* Dynaco A470. Push Pull transformer, with Ultralinear taps at 33%, 5600 to 16 ohms, 3db 7 to 56000 hz
*
* model generated by TransformerModels.xls yyyy Jan 22
*
LP1 1 Sg1 7.29664888730406
LS1 2 B 1.77011598090312
LS2 3 Sg2 1.77011598090312
LP2 4 P2 7.29664888730406
LSA 5 Sp2 0.18300530603261
*Seems* to be violating this criterion:
OPT primary inductance > (load impedance)/120
Well, A470 was designed for EL34.
Looking into a manufacturer's published data for 5K push pull DHT OPT:
https://shop.piemme-elektra.it/Categories/92/Products/8266
Total Primary inductance: > 40H @100Hz 5V
5K/120 ~ 40H
criterion seems to be observed.
Does tube plate impedance matter wrt primary inductance ?
Any insight ??
