I could be wrong, but I always thought that the tube manufacturer gave
sample circuits and/or specs with any given tube to allow you to do
proper impedance matching and thereby get Maximum Power Transfer.

If you look at:

you'll see that about halfway down the page, he's copied an old
application note from Eimac showing sample values for the 3-500 tubes.
