One technique sometimes used to get around the CS limitations is to direct couple to a cathode follower, then take the signal from there (a low impedance source).

That can be quite a useful technique if you're a bit short on HT voltage. A cascode using PNP transistors makes a decent anode load, and for a given HT voltage has far more compliance than the equivalent (valve) section of a mu-follower. The DC coupled cathode follower after it only need a simple CCS.
