I'm not sure that I'm following you.  An SB-200 is a 1KW input amp with 
a pair of 572-B's.  The Ameritron 811 series comes with either a pair or 
three 811A's.  Surely the version with three 811A's puts out as much 
soup as an SB-200.  I ran a 30L-1 with four 572B's on a 120v circuit for 
a couple of years without problems.
Some folks face the necessity of using a 120v line in order to operate 
an amp.  Those in apartments or rental homes may have no other choice.
