Looks like you got your answer, and that answer is no...

Call them back -- the question to ask is: What is the current rating of the 6.3-volt filament secondary winging of the power transformer?

Knowing that -- you can inventory the tubes on that filament winding and using tube data add up the total current. If there is at least 20% wiggle room left (using the KT-66s) then you are good to go.

A CYA move would be to fuse protect the filament supply to assure against an unwanted surge. Vintage power transformers are not readily available and may be expensive.
