In class B, yes, they conduct alternately. In class AB the conduction overlaps during each cycle. In class A they both conduct through the whole cycle... and the box gets even hotter!

Re: diode/tube rectifier in parallel
The 6CA4 would add about 6 watts to the power transformer load (the 6CA4 heater.) With the Si diodes I would add a 50 ohm WW resistor in the rectifier cathode line before the input capacitor to cut ripple current.
