Yes, that is what it is. An HO, High Output, design. Large 20 watt output transformers.
I haven't seen him advertise one for a long time. Probably not his favorite design. Mine was built in May, 2016. I purchased it in July, 2016.
From his old ad on eBay:
"FIRE-BOTTLE"
NEW HIGHER POWER
17 WATT PER CHANNEL
SINGLE-ENDED STEREO AMPLIFIER
KT-88/6550 TUBE
SINGLE-ENDED CLASS A
SPECIAL EDITION
"LATEST HO EDITION"
INSPIRE TUBE AMPLIFIER by DENNIS HAD FEATURING THE KT-88/6550 BEAM POWER VACCUM TUBE AMPLIFIER IN A SINGLE-ENDED CLASS A 17 WATT DESIGN
CUSTOM DESIGNED AIR-GAP 20 WATT OUTPUT TRANSFORMERS TO MATCH KT-88 TUBES AT FULL BANDWIDTH
I have designed and built in just about every special part but the kitchen sink in this new high output SE amplifier
