just so we don't unnecessarily muddy the waters, on the primaluna's amps (and others with the switch), when the triode mode is activated (from base mode ultralinear) the power tubes screens are tied to their grids with a small value resistor (usually 200 ohms) and the ultralinear tap on the transformer winding is bypassed... this results in a 3 db reduction (half power) in output from the power tubes....
this happens whether we are dealing with 2 or 4 power tubes per channel...
