As you wrote, the el34 is a Pentode tube. The 6550 and KT88 ( also the KT 90) aren't true triode tubes but are classified as power beam tetode/pentode. It is true that all of these types of tubes can be 'wired' to triode function. Many amplifiers offer a switch for choosing Ultralinear or triode operation.
True triode power tubes are for example, 45, 2A3, 300b,PX25, 845, 211 etc.
