Mr. B,
My amp is a mid-90's Dynaco Stereo 80. From what I've read, they didn't make too many of these. They were made in N.Y. I bought 2 of the power amps and am glad I did. The tube compliment is 12AT7/6DJ8/EL34. Seperate bias pot for each tube and a UL/Triode switch.
Right now (may change tomorrow!)I'm using the '65 12AT7WA RCA blackplate, Amperex Herleen A-frame 6DJ8 and newer production Svetlana EL34 (New Sensor).
The Svetlana's sound real nice in this amp, so it was a matter of using very inexpensive (I got them for about $5 ea) good sounding tubes vice mega-buck Mullards that I have stashed away.
Just about everything I roll in the amp sounds good - which I suppose is a good thing. The most noticeable change comes from rolling in GE 6550A's.
Very crisp sound that I like very much.
Your list of 12AT7's is impressive! Lot's of fun rolling all those!
