You can use the principles discussed here to create a 2W ccs:

But with a MOS, the capacitance degrades very quickly the impedance above 1KHz (the sim uses a transistor similar to the HV VN2222, like the Supertex one. The low voltage VN2222 has less capacitance, but is limited to 60V).
And as Wavebourn said, you also have to take the non-linear effects into account.

the LND150 http://www.supertex.com/pdf/datasheets/LND150.pdf is more appropriate to the 12AX7 single digit mA plate current
a HV PNP "ring of two" feedbck ccs or Zener/LED Vref hanging from the V+ supply is a natural choice, cascode if high perfromance is necessary (PMOS pass divice also possible)
with a bufferd output stage the bootstrap RC ccs doesn't require special silicon and may be good enough
