6L6GC Direct swap tubes

I'm just about finished with my Clementine. I built the 19volt and above setup. I have a pair of new matched Tung-Sol 6L6GC STR's. What other tubes can I use that are direct plug in without resistor changes? I can strap the sockets if needed.

Cheers!

Almost all of them were made by Tung Sol or Sylvania both are good NOS are getting expensive , the new ones are Russian or reissued Tung Sol .
