Why so many tubes?


Many of the most expensive tube amps/preamp have multiple tubes...6, 8, 10. If direct path is preferred in the speaker by most, why the acceptance of a glass army in one's amp/preamp?

Reminds me of a midnight trip with a buddy to visit the transmitter building at KCMO AM in Kansas City. That's a 50KW clear channel hair dryer. Those guys were using some tubes big enough to be landed aliens. Anyone here ever worked a site like that?

Wish I had a  jadis JA30 pair of monos with a quad  vs my 
Defy 's 12 tubes
Don't need 12 tubes. 
For WBer speakers all you need is a  SET or a  PP with a  quad. 
Jadis went big power due to the popularity of  gigantic dinasaur speakers with disgustingly low efficiency.
A=Z speakers brands past 40 years. 
I learned early on in the 1970's that big never was better. 
True then,  true today, Oct 2021, and true in a  100 yrs from now.
Folks saying how great speaker xyz  is, when i take just one glance, its nothing more than the 1970's speakers rebranded, repackaged and ,,last but not least,,,re priced..
hehe
