After a few experimentation with resistor values, I've dropped the voltage to 260 using Mills MRA-12 2.7k.
The tubes are now dissipating at 8.25 watts from the stock 11.25.
If I lower the mains to 114 volts, I get 7.68 watts while still having 2.4 volts on the filaments.
I'm not noticing a drop in power nor sound quality.
I'm happy now.
Thanks to everyone who helped.
