I haven't yet owned an Electro Harmonix EL34 that could withstand those numbers.

I have an Electro-Harmonix EL34 that will TRIPLE some of those numbers, and still be on the rise!!
I don't know why I haven't thrown it away.....

Same here, both sets of EH EL34 tubes I have used sound best at around 20ma and redplate after about 25. The EH6CA7's that were in my amp when I first got it however could take about 51ma w/o redplating and sounded pretty good. Go figure.
