Romy, of course I know your horn is very efficient, and of course I do not mean amp output but plate dissipation, just as you did when you mentioned 50 - 60 W.  So, why the hell would that output tube clip into 1 Watt load?  I would be wondering, too!  Obviously, the energy is there at the output tube to begin with, and it is going somewhere.  If driver impedance is compatible, and it stays flat over its range, then where is the sink? With big motors, I always think, add current.

I forget if this channel has the super-long cables.  If so, have you checked the load with the cables included?

Best regards,
Paul S
