Given the numbers here, I don't know the value of the resistor you're measuring the voltage across, but I'd guess we're talking about the difference of a few mils. Personally, I wouldn't sweat it, try it and listen. I've heard that many prefer their EL34's biased nearer to 35 to 40ma on Dyna ST-70's. You could also post this on the DIY Hi-Fi Supply forum, if you have not already, to see what others who own the amp might suggest.
