You may find it surprising how builders take an idea and make such profound changes to it that it is barely recognisable. One person I approached wanted to change the output tubes, because he considered the 6C33s, I quote, " a dead-born idea." Two of those I contacted wanted to significantly change the output transformers specs to make winding easier...Anyway, what I am saying is I was never attached to parts, but sometimes I felt that I had to prohibit any change in terms of the parts in order not to write a blank cheque and end up with a radically different amplifier.
  
The person who considered changing the 6C33s was right or wrong but he did not propose to you built his own amp. When you hire a carpenter to paint your room then you use his expertise to paint wall and you do not particularly care when he insist that that color of your bedroom does not match with the hair color of your wide and when his insist that you need to get rid of her. If your guy feel that 6C33C is "a dead-born idea" then he need to pitch to you his one version of amp with compatible characteristics and sonic results.
 
Regarding the “those … wanted to significantly change the output transformers specs to make winding easier...”. Get rid of them. A proper output SET transformer can’t not be made by a person who is willing to get this things simpler. You need to approach a transformer maker, give to him the specs and complicate the specs as much as you might imagine. The person shall send you to hell a few times, and then he shall hive you the praise that according to him would make you to go away. You need to abrade the price, furthermore to complicate the specs and insist to proceed.  Then, what the guy even make for you the OT transformers and you stop by in his shop to pick it up then she shall look at your as you are his worst enemy. He shall throw the transformer in your head and scream that he never ever will do it such a pain in ass transformer again no matter how much he be paid. Now, what you got from him is THE right transformer.
 
The “winding easier” transformers are not what one needs for Milq. The more “complicated” transformer will be the better will be the amp. I do not go into specifics how complicated transformer might be orders but if a maker does not offer “complexity” then stay away from the maker.
