The console versions of Model 16 put out 15 watts of audio (class AB) as opposed to 10 watts in the cathedrals & tombstones.
The console versions also run a higher B+ to get that extra output power.
That increases current draw as well...so the 5Z3 is required in console models while the 80 is good enough for cathedrals/tombstones.
If you compare a cathedral or tombstone chassis with a console chassis, the console chassis always has a physically larger power transformer.
