V4B and V4, pair of power tubes, slow red plating
#10
You are definitely correct in stating that the one thing these amps have in common is me! I know those settings are extreme and pushed to that extent, the amp doesn't even sound good. The only reason I'm testing it to that point of clip is to make sure that if I were to loan these to someone in the future, they don't melt them.

I had a spare 20 minutes today and swapped the .33's for .1's. I played the amp quickly into a dummy load at full clip and it didn't seem to display any red plating. Tomorrow I will spend more time and document voltages. You may have nailed it!
