As for building high power single ended tube amps with transmitter tubes, no one surpasses George from tubelab.com ... seen here in his classic article where he builds a 212 Watt class A2 amp with a single 833C output tube. Everything about this is hilariously dangerous, from the 10 Amp heater supply to the 1500 Volt HT supply, the 72 POUND transformer and the, er, blast proof screen used to make it relatively safe to use.

Those ones go to 11. Or 50,000 W, to be more precise.
