It's how you drive it with those.
I had some fun with one about 25 years about.

Some guys would drive them with Texas star modulator or a small tube type driver(I forget the name, and i even had one after the MACO was gone).

I just had a Galaxy DX55V at the time I ran into it, 6-9 watts is about all I ever put into it since I was told the tubes were getting old when I got it.
Most of the time about 6 1/2 from my radio was enough to get around 525-550 out of it on my meter (did NOT have the good ones like you have I admit so who knows what it was really doing but it worked well hehe)and I lived on top of a hill anyway lol.
Peak would be 625 or so.

If I really hit it, I would see 575 and it would peak around 750.

Was a fun hobby for about 10 years, would get back into it but I am more into my bikes now.
Thanks for the video, it brought back some great memories.

Just had Redbone do work on three of my amps. The man knows his stuff!

Wow that 300 gets with it! I've never seen one quite do that much either! Nice one!

I have a maco 300 2x4 with 6LB6's. What is the next tube size up that would be plug n play? Or does it need to be converted for better tubes?

I have a video of mine on my channel. I was using an unmodified Hy-Gain 623A to drive it with. It looks and works great but unfortunately I'm painted into a corner with it because it's never been used hard enough to burn the markings off the GE tubes! A real conundrum!
It's not helping my "crusade" to bring back 16 lower as a refuge for those of us who want to run the vintage 23 channel sideband radios that the ionosphere is currently on vacation, but I keep calling CQ every so often.

Hi Again, I Said My Son Bought Mics From You, I Only Ask A Question, If Red Bone Might Know, Its All Original, I Believe 2057 All Tubes Lights Up, Its Clipping, On Modulation, Thanks Again.
