Attached is a design I'm getting ready to try. The idea came from a Hifi design I posted previously - I thought it would be interesting to try. My goal is to try to get some of the SE tone combined with a PP output stage - not sure what the result will be. Comments/Critique welcome
My aim is to bias the KT77/EL34 at -15vdc, 26mA. The original design did that by DC coupling the EL34 to totem pole driver stage(12AU7 with current source plate load). I would like to just use cathode bias for simplicity, and from previous experience, totem pole circuits don't seem to sound good when driven hard.

My understanding is that an SE output stage doesn't cancel the even order harmonics like a PP does - so I'm thinking it might add some pleasant harmonic content to the mix.
