Some guys told me this is a poor scheme and I also want your opinion.

All the transistors have far lower Vce than required,
only the 140 V VCE output pair may survive the voltage,
BUT not the output power if ever it is used at full power
on a 4R load, or even unloaded, as the VBE multiplier
voltage drop is set with a fixed resistance divider which
is unrealistic given the transisors caracteristics dispersions..

two pairs of MJ15003/4 on 70V power supplies is guaranteed to blow up when pushed hard.

All of the other transistors, BC557, BD139/140, BD243C/244C are also not capable of working on a total supply of 140V.

The circuit would work if you use say 35v supplies, but then you would not get 500W.
I wouldn't build it.
