This one seems pretty limit on the high frequency.
150W Special Design Output Transformer
Maybe this is a high power with 211 in push pull circuit. My friend sent me, so I wonder. Toroid should be pretty wide bandwidth.

Designing a tube amp with an o/p tranny of 100Khz b/w requires some thought on the layout and type of tubes used; generally the response gets "stopped down" in the circuit well before that, otherwise with ex video b/w tubes it can become a perfect oscillator and will zap-up tweeters without hearing it.
I've come across many mistakes of UL amp builders simply swapping o/p trannies for wider b/w types with horrendous results. It isn't quite that simple as one/another o/p transformers have their own phase relationships with the circuit used. Hence if in doubt stay with a design that has been proven to work with a particular transformer, til one gathers more experience. Standard Push pull is certainly easier.

This is common disbelief that toroids without fixed or distributed air gap can't tolerate small DC typical for any PP amplifier. Properly constructed PP toroid can handle small DC without any problem whatsoever. Cutting toroid core to make air gap basically kills almost all
of its advantages.
A pair of 60W PP toroids I designed can sustain 7mA of DC imbalance for each output vacuum tube.
Toroid SE transformers or DC chokes should have fixed or distributed air gap, however.
Plitrons have excellent top HF limit. However, top frequency is usually limited not by leakage inductance, but buy resonant frequency caused by leakage inductance and stray capacitance. Toroids usually have much higher stray capacitance compared to EI or double C core with comparable technical characteristics.
common disbelief is that common, uncut toroid cores have a uniform airgap. They dont.
They consist of a coiled strip wich has a oxidlayer and windingdependend small but fluctating gaps. The manufacturer of the core has no way to controll this gaptolerances
in a way that would even come close to what is possible with a cut cut core.
Draw your own conclusions, and dont let you influence by statements like "7ma" wich is meaningless as such.
