The 50 kw. used the 7 triode tube ring type final amplifier used in TV aural amplifiers.   The original RCA 50 kW. FM transmitter of which, I believe, there were three made

   The 7, GG 5762 finals could only put out 25 kW, the 50 kW TPO transmitter in Michigan
used two diplexed together.  The TV  amplifier was named TT25AL/TT25BL. (75/50 Ohm input)
