During the 1950 period and beyond the 807 tube was the norm for wideband/distribution amplifiers used on receiving stations. The 6V6, 6L6 and 807 were also used in a variety of other ancillary equipment. This was overkill in most cases but I suppose these tubes were plentiful and cheap at the time. The equipment was desgined and built around these tubes. One other tube popular at the time was the 813 for transmitters like the RCA ET4336 TX but to mention one.
The advantage of this trend was that tubes were interchangeable between equipment units.
There were also 12 v versions of the above tubes, again popular in mobile and aeronautical equipment like the Collins and Bendex transmitters.
