Different power transformer and output transformer, both larger than a
Princeton’s transformers. This contributes to more power. Also, the
Deluxe uses a GZ34 rectifier, whereas the Princeton uses a 5U4; the
5U4 has higher internal resistance and supplies less current.

Also, very important – significantly different phase inverter.
