existing only on paper...
SET is not like PP in a few ways. One is the means of dealing with the idle current. The 45, 2A3 and 300B can all run on a plate load of 4k. Idle current differs by a factor of two.
Minimum primary L requirement at power is still the same, yet one will have to deal with twice the DC. With PP, if the a-a load is right, and you don't overheat things with too much idle DC, you'll be fine if you can keep the two halves balanced.
