Finding good tube (valve) receivers on Google sometimes takes a little finesse. Google terms like Two Tube Superheterodyne Receiver or Three Tube Superheterodyne Receiver and you will get circuits
like this one. The B+ is 150 volts and the tubes are 6.3 volt heaters. Tubes in most of these older circuits do indeed run high plate voltages with the referenced circuit at 150 volts actually being low. The ECC88 / 6DJ8 is a dual triode valve and I may be wrong but would likely serve better in the amplification stages of audio than in the front end and detector stages of a simple AM radio. I may be way off on that note.
Building the power supplies for some of these classic radios also involves a little work. The parts can be found, just need some effort.
A really great and old book I still cling to is the Radio Handbook Ninth Edition which was the original printing in 1942. Great books like this can be had on Ebay relatively inexpensive loaded with the theory, circuits and how to information. Additionally old ARRL (American Radio Relay League) and other old ham radio publications are a gold mine.
