Again, this is why the grid needs to be biased at the midway/ idling/ 50% point, to prevent clipping and minimize distortion. So the tube can handle the highest signal amplitude consistent with good linearity (as in an audio stage). The raucious sound of 'heavy metal' music was spawned from deliberately running tube stages into clipping.
