Power wanted? Voltages available? Size? Load? (Speaker impedance). Source type (CD, line level, phono.... ).
Power wanted? Yes
Voltages available? Usually
Size? As large as possible
Load? Anything between 2 and 500 ohms
Source? Is this really necessary?
ROTFL.
When I do that particular search, I get 4 or 5 circuit diagrams right on the first page. Two of which I’ve actually tried.

Why would I answer directly to such a faux response?
Power wanted? The characteristics of the El34 pretty much define how much power will be available in the configuration I asked about.
Voltages available? Does it matter? Whatever it is can be accommodated by the power xformer and power supply.
Size? Size of what?
Load? Can be accommodated by taps on the OPT
Source? Whatever sources will be handled by a preamp, no?
There are a TON of EL34 SE designs already documented on this forum if you do a quick google search, but to recommend a specific design you need to tell us what you need as design considerations. such as-
What's your budget?
How much power do you need?
How much voltage are you comfortable working with?
What speakers will these primarily be used with?
Source is important- we need to know what your input level will be at in order to recommend you a design with suitable gain structure.
We need actual numbers and/or model info for the associated accessories. Without that you are just groping in the dark with no clues to guide you home. Otherwise read the build logs of folks that have similar setups to you and see if it will work.
An amplifier to drive some large multi-way speakers with an internal crossover with only 82db sensitivity driven from an iPad can be a very differently structured amplifier than one running off of a balanced output PCM1794 DAC running into some Lowther 102db full ranges.
Or, start from scratch and go for datasheet examples, and find a driver to match that will output the swing you need with your source.

I also got about 5 results but I didn't see any that matched ALL of the parameters listed in the title of my post.
There are no parameters in that title. It's just a marketing line.
Google 'parameters'
Or Google 'EL34 single ended triode mode"

When you started your thread, you were shown a list of existing threads. There's one literally with your title.
You could have been on your way soldering your amp, instead you chose to waste our time with fake arguments.

I don't see any arrogance on display, just folks asking for more info so they can make helpful suggestions.
Only snarky reply I see is yours in response to Cal's reply.

Thank you. I am not proficient at reading schematics so I will need to study that some more. I do like the apparently simplicity and minimal number of components.
