Well, you might not find a transformer with precisely the PPP primary
ratio to match whatever you would have used for PP. Some of us might
even sacrifice some of the greater power to up the primary to plate
multiple for greater silence.

Indeed:-)
I have built some PPP amps before, and the primary Z was
half that of the PP version.

You've got me there. PPP ? What's the extra P for ?

Parallel. Two parallel pairs per channel.
