REPLY:

Both tubes and transistors each have their own protection
requirements. 

Treating a transistor like a tube or vice versa is asking for trouble.
For one, tubes are far more fragile. Drop a transistor on the floor,
no problem. Drop a tube and it's goodbye. 

There are lots of differences but you get the idea.
