Somewhat off-topic but do DC screen ratings apply in the same way when operating in UL? Since the plate and screen voltages move in tandem in UL it seems intuitively that maybe some tubes could handle more DC screen voltage in UL than they could otherwise. Anecdotally, Jack from electra-print told me about a UL 803 transmitting pentode amp he built with B+ at twice the screen rating (!) that had no reliability issues. Maybe this is a special case because these huge transmitting tubes are so rugged and that screen voltage rating was probably set based on the assumption they'd be used in a very different application than a SE audio amp.
