Remember its not a continuous flow of current, but rather pulsed, and a very narrow pulse, small duty cycle, the tube acts like a big cap, and smooths it out....
But at any rate there is a misprint in there, most HV supplies are at around 40ma or less..... But even that is pulsed, small duty cycle, the meter may "indicate" 40ma, and read it that way, but use calculus and it may be much less....
