Yes. Just add two more EL84s, and get a PT and OT that are designed for an AC-30. Use different cathode resistors for the EL84s. Basically just copy the AC-30 output stage.

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

This is the AC30 layout here. Check out the power amp section on the right as Sluckey mentioned.

Just put the layouts for the Stout and AC-30 side by side. The changes you need to make should be obvious.
