Thank  you for very useful notes. GU46 were rare used here because of
we  good  choice  of  another  cheap  tubes. I know a few designs with
1-2pcs of  GU46,  1 tube is able run 500-1000W, but better 500W for its long
life. It is not a big problem to find these tubes here, but sockets is
not easy to find. Local people try to make these sockets, they are not
masterpiece of course, but they work.

GU81m can be used of course, it is cheap, its socket is not a problem
(my  socket  cost  $35ea,I think it is not expensive). Sometimes it is
used without original electrodes,this make it much compact. You can
watch  plenty of pictures GU81m with sockets and without electrodes if
you google GU81m and then open the first topic.
