Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

And there's this...

Here's the chart from Sylvania. My amp clearly clearly falls in-between the two columns that are outlined. But just for the sake of argument, let's say it coincides with the lesser of the two, the one on the left - +400V anodes and +300V screens. According to Sylvania, that should produce 34 watts (nearly identical to the 807, at 36 watts). So why is it, even with higher voltage on the elements than shown in that column, the tubes aren't producing this much output power? Does anyone here know how manufacturers derived these output numbers for their power tubes? Is there a technical text somewhere that describes this rating system?
