That must indeed be wrong. But there is something else, the top and 
bottom driver
want 180 degrees out of phase signals. An inverter seems to be missing, 
or
the two exors are wired differently than you think?

No, this looks like a push-pull allright. Are those two 1uF caps not 
connected
to the center tap? The electrolytic 4700uF might not like the very large 
AC ripple.

That is certainly going to blow when built like this, then. To make it 
work
between 3 and 300 kHz should be impossible. With that specification 
you'll want a
linear amplifier. With a dutycycle of 1.5ms/10s = 1:6666, dissipation is
not the issue, when the SOAR of the devices is respected.
