Does Mr. Rauch's statement check out?  The pulse rated version of the 
Eimac 8877 is rated at 50A emission peaks.  The heater power is  56w.  
50A divided by 56w is 893 mA of emission per watt of heater power.

 It seems to me that comparing a one shot emission event with a 
repetitive emission rating is a bit specious.
