Would 4 of these tubes produce a one million watt Audio Amp?

Would four of these in push-pull-parallel produce a one million watt
Audio Amp?

Never enough power from regular tubes such as 6L6's or 807's

I wonder how big the audio output transformer would be?

I also wonder if my 200amp electrical service main could handle the
load, using 240 VAC?

No.

Obviously not. Doubtful even the heaters.

240 VAC * 200 A = 48 kVA.

The efficiency of the whole thing will very probably be
below 50 %, so you could not expect more than 20 kW from
your AC supply line. You're off by a factor of 50, at least.

The calculation has not taken into account the needed
cooling and auxuíliary feeds.

Go have a look at a larger distribution transformer
to have an idea of a 1 MW transformer. In the power
grid it is not very large yet.

1 MW PMPO perhaps, but not continuous.
