My simulation got 25 mA RMS at 6 mA DC, so you should be good. These are Class A stages, so steady state at idle is not much less than the the average at full power.

So an update on this now that it is wired up. There is a 31mA current draw on the secondaries which is going past the limit on my transformer. The other issue is that the filaments are sagging a bit even though I have a 1A filament winding. Talked to Phil at Heyboer, I really want to use the same cut out in the chassis so I think we are going to do a taller laminate stack. Phil is a very helpful guy, pleasure to work with. The good news is the reverb unit sounds fantastic.
