Not to rain on your parade, but 6L6 (or any other power pentode) transconductance at, say, 1mA plate current (you are feeding it through 100K after all) is WAY lower than at usual power tube current levels.
You want a very rough, no graphs voltage gain estimation for a 6L6 ? (EL34/84 can be calculated in a similar way):
Just consider this:
Idle: plate voltage=V+ , say, 430V ; grid voltage (bias)= -52V
Saturating: Plate, say, 60V ; grid: 0V .
(Delta means "variation")
Plate variation (delta voltage)= 430-60=370V
Grid variation (delta voltage) = 52-0=52V
Effective gain: 370/52=7 ..... incredible, isn't it?
So, what about that huge transconductance, is it a lie? Not at all, but is is the name to describe a *type* of Physical phenomenon: that when voltage changes, current changes.
In this case , it does not mean huge voltage gain but huge current swing for a relatively small (grid) voltage swing.
So, in a nutshell, use small triodes (or small pentodes if you wish) for gain and big pentodes for power.
Can't go wrong.
Hasn't been wrong for the last 90 years, go figure
