I have experience with the 6AS7 which shows that it sounds best at 100V 100mA. Since I would recommend a PP design for decent output (7-8watts), your power supply transformer is not up to the job. You would need at least 4x100mA or about 1/2 an amp. You need at least 165V of B+ to create a decent driver stage. This means you need a power transformer capable of 130V AC and 1A.

A suitable tranformer;

I built such an amp which used power toroidals as interstage transformers, I would not recommend that but if you can stretch to a pair of interstage transformers(Lundahl LL1660) this is a very good and simple circuit.

Hey Shoog, whats wrong about lieukiem´s PT?

Looks hefty enough for me. With a LC-filter it might be OK.
