Amp Supply was always changing things.
Add whatever value gives full loading and improves output AND efficiency.
Then your excessive voltage drop will probably go away. That tank has a very
limited matching range on 160 and I changed values on my 500ZC so I could
cover the full band with a fairly high VSWR at the high end. I detest
antenna tuners.
