Not unprecedented. The Fender PS300 and PS400 amps used beam power tubes 6V6GTA and 6L6GC respectively as drivers. Essentially they're used as a single ended amp (like a champ) with the transformer secondary being center-tapped as a phase inverter. In the case of the P&K amp, there's no phase inversion necessary, because it's single ended. It must have a whole lot of grid current.
Some old Gibsons used transformers as phase inverters too, but not on that kind of scale.

I heard the Preuss-n-König on the frankfurt music fair a few years ago. Also sounded great!

I was in USN avionics school in 1972; we were probably one of the last classes to learn tube theory.
