With 50-60W of drive you should see around 500W out with a single tube in
the SB220 in the CW position and tuned for 125 ma grid current. Not much
difference with 50W into two tubes.
With 2 tubes and 2 sockets you have 4 possible combinations. Be sure to use
one socket for both tubes and then switch to the other socket. It is
possible that one of the grid chokes is open.
Also be certain that your exciter is not in VSWR foldback in any of the
above tests.
With 100W of drive into two GOOD tubes typical key down output is 750W on CW
and 1100W on SSB switch positions on 20M as an example. In the 50 Hz world I
wouldnt run over 900W in the SSB position without additional cooling on the
xfmr (unless it is a 50Hz version) and a high speed (or 50 Hz fan).
