Largest tube amp? If you are not limiting yourself to audio, certainly the pulse RF transmitters developed bvy the Soviet Union for over the horizon radar purposes that generate megawatts of output would be a good guess. Also, TV stations routinely run megwatt transmitters using Klystrons, a vaccum tube variation.  
 
If you are talking about the largest vacuum tube audio amp currently made, then my guess is the Shoreline 800 hi-fi amplifier. See it in the link below under products:

It can produce peak power out in excess of 6000 watts.
