Looking at amphenol specs it appears that some connectors used in a tube microphone I looked at are used outside of the rated voltage.

The 8 pin in a high end microphone I saw has about 190V on the B+ wire
A connector that LOOKS like it in the mouser cat is only rated at 160V.

When I built the 80 type microphone I used a 300 V rated connector.

Some of the china tube stuff uses 200VDC B+. What is the voltage rating of a china 7 pin XLR?

Is the voltage rating with or without shrink tubing on the pins inside the connector?
 
I noticed this too as I was looking to build an external power supply to power a small rack. Then again, voltage ratings of resistors are more often overlooked.
