Interestingly, the GZ32 is usually considered equivalent to the 5V4 and according to the Philips datasheet would certainly work here (250-275mA at these voltages). Strange that they would also nix the 5U4, which can easily deliver the current, but would sag the supply a bit.
Interesting. Here's my PT : http://www.classictone.net/40-18029.pdf
It shows the voltages for 5U4 and GZ34, implying 5U4 is doable.
FWIW, I'm using the red/white taps and have 400V B+ ww/ SS.

Miles is right, I am slowly converting to the stiff dark side
