Default 300B PSE Problems

Back from holiday and chilling out after the drive home from the airport with some music, when after one side of vinyl one of my monoblocs emitted a rapid machine gun type noise through the speaker.
After urgently switching off I then carefully switched it back on while keeping a hand on the power switch. After a few seconds I saw a flash at the top of the 300B valve accompanied with a crack from the speaker. I didn’t give any chance for further fireworks and switched off immediately.
I run my amps with just one 300B per side, not needing any more power for my very efficient speakers.
Before I just risk trying another valve, does anyone have any idea what the fault may be or where I should check?
