Some of the "space charge" tubes (from the late 50s / early 60s) which were designed for 12V B+ (and filaments) wil lrun niely o 12-24V B+, but their gain and overall output voltage "swing" are severly limited...
You still need some solid state to develop any useful power, even at headphone levels.
John Broskie, on his Glassware / Tube CAD site had an article about a 6GM8 based "Aikido" HP amp, which used three-terminal regulators as the output power elements, and he even had special boards designed for this purpose.
