Like schematics, valves used etc people often baulk at big wattage amps but all the Jamaican sound systems were bouncing with that kind of power!
I doubt it very seriously if this amp as depicted in the video is putting out 500 Watts of output power.
Do you have a clue how hard it would be or how heavy....or how much power would be consumed to generate this level of output power with a tube amplifier?
More than likely the reference to 500 Watts is the power CONSUMED........& not the power output.
Just the output transformers would be the size of a basketball................let alone the B+ main, the chokes, the filament TXs' et. al.

crate made a 600 watt all tube guitar amp. 25 tubes and a 12x16 cab. crazy stuff right there YouTube - The loudest tube guitar amp in the universe...
That EL6471 looks so cool, class B though... I was hoping for 'at worst' AB1 (triode).
And those guitar amps are crazy! I was hoping to put together a 100/200 watt bass guitar amp using triodes, probably use 304TL or similar
