What is physiclly in size the largest audio power

What is physically in size the largest audio power tube? I saw this amplifier designed by Ed Billeci with a 211 transmitting tube,it towers over the transformers and looks beautiful. What would be the comparible dimensions to a 300b, 45 or 845 etc...

There are some much larger transmitting tubes intended for other purposes that have been adapted to audio amplification, but in the normal realm, this has to be a contender for the physically biggest amp tube:

KR Audio T-1610. They cost a mere $1899/matched pair in the US. This dwarfs a 211, 845 and the new super 300Bs.

OK, had to poke around for some dimensions. The T-1610 is 12" tall and almost 4" in diameter. By comparison, an 845 is 6-3/4" tall and about 2-1/8" in diameter.
