Hi Rod, PBTL is obtained by grounding an input, mentioned in the data sheet. There are versions that have this facility but guess you can mod the ones you have?
BTW, there are so may versions of the TPA3116D2 amp now it's ridiculous!
The one you want is this;

I based a product around the original version that had PBTL links under the PCB along with space for a type 'M' regulator so you could drop the 24V to 12V (say) for powering the Oscillator section of the class E (or D!) generator. Made a really sweet unit.
What happens.....CH changes the design for no good reason and fits an op-amp to the front end with a dumb filter with a huge dip in the mid range!
I tried to reverse engineer the circuit and gave up finding that removing the op-amp gave a perfectly flat response albeit at a lack of gain, just had to drive it harder to get the required O/P.
If anyone is interested, this design is an idea driver for most valve linears and the BLF188XR, 12W carrier with 24V depending on your RF stage of course, I use single ended class E.
Being direct PWM, the modulated audio response is flat from 20Hz to 10KHz.
