"I was tempted to think it would do just that, give me more vgain. But it's not a tube!"What is not a tube?
CCS aside, the gain of a triode tube stage goes up as the plate resistor is increased. That is a direct result of the load line becoming more horizontal. That is just a fact and if you are not getting that result then you are doing something wrong.
BTW the theoretical max gain of a stage is the mu of the tube in use. That can never be reached but with a CCS plate load and a high 'following stage' grid resistor value you can get really close.
P.S. I may have mis-read your post. If you got more gain but not enough more gain then I would use a different tube, one with a higher mu.
