The 150 ohm cathode resistor is for limiting current, even if it was not there, it would not overload the tube.

The only thing that could is too much positive voltage on pin 2.
And as stated before, W/O the volume control plugged in, there is nothing to stop the grid from creeping up and turning the tube on, this is a design flaw.
