OK, exactly why don't trannies (on valve amps) like it being run
without a load?

I think it has something to do with the xformer's secondary trying to drive
a very large impedance (ie, open circuit). I think this translates into
excessive current in the primary (but I could be wrong).

I'd have thought quite the reverse; usually, I'd have thought the
primary current would decrease when the load was removed from the
secondary.

Mind you, if there's feedback and so on happening round it all, goodness
only knows.
