The problem is, knowing what the bias voltage is doesn't tell you what the idle current through the tubes is. High idle current through the 7591s is what will wear them out. I would start by putting a 10 ohm resistor in the cathode of each of the output tubes so you can know what the current is.
Current = voltage / resistance
