What is the "reverse engineering" version of an SET circuit that would accomplish - in terms of audible results - what you want? The reason I suggest 3 stages is only because I see a gap between required input and necessary output for the proposed driver versus the desired output tube, versus the plate curves. YMMV, of course.
Surely, the answer lies somewhere between Ockham and Einstein: something like, "make it as simple as necessary."
Re: buying in to the sense of 2-stage elegance, don't forget the difference in gain between your own stated wants and Romy's DSET, starting from the same point.
