Indeed, HV sag would be the most likely cause of the defocus of a bright picture on these sets, and should be addressed first. However, triode gun CRTs have a bad reputation for worse spot size growth with increasing beam current than tetrode designs.
Just saying that if that is the case, a little "dynamic focus" could improve the beam performance.
Of course, the focus coil would be difficult/impossible to drive at video frequencies, but it should be possible to provide focus correction fast enough to improve
average focus.
