A bit like this sort of thing. They run in 12V and I assume they have a tripler or some such thing to raise the voltage for the HT:
At the bottom of the page you linked to is a "Mullard Vintage Valve Buying Guide" which contains, amongst other things, this priceless piece of advice:
'Vintage amplifier valves tend to generate enough heat to degrade other stereo system components. Because of the excessive heat, Mullard amplifier valve buyers should place the sound systems in a large room that encourages strong airflow, such as a basement with includes several open windows.'
