Eli,
Okay, more complex than I expected. I could just drop a BUNCH of voltage to the finals and use the 12AT7s, but somehow I don't think you would agree that such a notion makes sense. And now I get to learn some new stuff. Thanks, I think? :-)
May I get some clarification just to be sure I'm following you? Are you describing each section of a 6922 (one section per channel) to be ANODE-loaded with a CCS and LED biased? Then the anode at the tube goes straight into the gate of a MOSFET IRFBC20 with no capacitor coupling? Perhaps a stopper resistor?
Also, I have a lot of Amperex 6DJ8s. Might they be up to the task? Frugality would seem to warrant using up some of my tubes that I already have, but I know your penchant for good engineering.
Finally, Is this the kind of splitter you are describing?

One more question: How do I figure a good value to use for the source and drain load resistors on the splitter? I found a source talking about tube cathodynes, but not much on the values for MOSFETs.
Thanks for any further help you can offer!
