The cathode follower driver has 200Volts on its plate. The cathode itself is at -45 Volts which apparently is the class A bias point. It will have no troubles swinging 70 Volts in either direction (total 140 Volts).
A modified version of this circuit will easily be able to drive a 300b as well; the modification simply to alter the cathode voltage so the 300B is properly biased.
With a 300b I would think you don't need so much gain.
