You are right about the 270FX - I see 290-295V on the HT secondary with a line voltage of 117-118V. With a 5AR4, this means 365-370VDC which is a bit much for the EL84's. A workable compromise is to use the Sovtek version of the 5Y3. It is not a direct copy of the original - it uses an indirectly heated cathode and drops much less voltage. With the 270FX, I get around 345VDC which is a little kinder to the 84's. The amp still has decent transient response (the NOS 5Y3 has too much sag for my tastes) and the tubes seem to be happier. FWIW....
