Any info on fat bottle Ei tubes?


I saw a ad on Ebay for quads of Ei fat bottle tubes. The ad stated more output power. When I inquired as to what made these tubes have more output I was told that the bottle design had something to do with it. My question to old tubeheads is: Can a tube be made to put out more than it's rated power(EL34)? Also what would a fat bottle design have to do with power? It should be a internal design that would make all the difference no? Just curious as I am somewhat new to rolling of those magic bottles. Thanks,

Thanks Clueless for the info. The person selling these Ei's states he has a lot of them, so maybe they are relabled. I have enough EL34's presently but was curious as to what others might know. Good listening.
Hello Khawk2 and thank you. The triode site is great! Lots of info for the newbie and the vet. As you said you want someone to be there for future sevice and that's important to me.
