A lot of good questions are raised here. I believe vacuum tubes are more tolerant to voltage spikes hence the shorter retrace period. Vacuum tubes are perhaps able to accept the punishment of higher peak values?

However I am curious the comparison between retrace times between tube vs transistor horizontal output amplifiers. What is typically the retrace time when using a transistor?
