That is done with many push-pull amplifiers, (some push-pull amplifiers
don't have a plate choke
or DC coupling capacitors for that matter) but:
All insulation (theirs-a-bouts) would have to be adequate for the DC Voltage
plus the AC voltage
riding on it. Not just the AC Voltage.
The current will be much higher, but not that high. (The impedance ratio
might be 5000:50)
Go ahead. Let us know how that worked out.
