No, this has nothing to do about bad tubes (I think). The amp eats the fuses for breakfast. Which means, the fuses blow when I turn the amp on. This happens regulary each second day. What's up in there?

Are you still running with just ONE EL34 ?
I’m not a tech (well just enough to be dangerous :D ) and can’t say with any certainty this is the reason. But it a good starting point.
Try a experiment pull out the EL34 and the 6L6 on the outer sockets, next move the 6L6’s from the inner sockets to the outer sockets, leave the inner sockets empty and run the amp in class A and still see if you are going through fuses. Important do not use that 6L6 that was paired with the EL34.
 
Well, after a long inner struggle, I actually removed the one EL-34 yesterday! That's the reason why I post this. I've always thought that the el-34 was the reason for this fuse-blowing. But now I'm looking for a new scapegoat, so you better excuse me.
Temporary using the power network in my house.
