It will drive  either my Tannoy Gold's full-range, or my 3-way system (Altec 515/Vitavox S2/EV T-350 or JBL 2450).  I could also use it just to drive the Altec 515 and use my current 300B to drive the MF/HF of my 3-way but that is something to play with after.  I will be adding the dedicated sub-woofers that I can use with both systems (i hope?)  later this year.

The 515/S2 are fine. The Milq will drive them, though I hope you do not have a very large room or have 515 horn loaded. The 515 (Do you have B-class or D-class?) are very fine drivers but they have limited excursion and in large room you need to pile them up. (an array of 515B should be very cool). From a different perspective if you have your 515 horn-loaded then you do not need to go for any crazy LF… It is all should be viewed on context of everything else and in pursuit for an abstract “higher” investment might be ….a limiting factor of deign. (The very same like in the case with Lamm ML3) You would need “unload” bass form 515 eventualt… so why invest efforts into a higher inductance transformer?

You will be less successful with Tannoy Golds – you would need Reds to use Tannoy with SETs. The Golds are later drivers that looks like meant to be uses for PP and SS amps and they need a lot of power dissipate on them to light those drivers up.  From what you described I see not needs going for "different" transformer” and regular amorphous Lundahls of 200mA would do…
