I posted this in the "not 18" section...but not a lot of traffic in there, so I put it here, too.

Can i use 1n5347's to drop plate voltage in 50/100w amps? Or do you need a beefier diode?
Thank you!

I think you'll be OK as long as they're followed by a reasonable value filter cap (at least 4.7uF or 10uF). Attaching them directly to the centertap of the output transformer with no decoupling might expose them to destructive spikes.
