Took the tubes back and guy swapped with no questions. The resistor now sits happily at 25V without catching fire. I also sussed the mismatch in plate voltages on the 12AX7. I read the plate 1 resistor as R20K, should have been 220K same as the other. So they are closer now but not identical.
Amp is still very quiet though. Tried swapping the EF86 and 12AX7 out but with no change. Took some more measurements. (Man those 6V6's get HOT!) Still a bit of positive voltage on the pin 5's of the power tubes. But don't think that's the cause of it being so quiet.
