So i recently bought a 300W plate amp for my TableTuba and i am going to build it into a wooden case. My question is: Can i build-in an analoge voltmeter directly parallel to the speaker output?

Why not, however you will need an AC volt meter. The meter you listed is DC.

And why should i use that instead of just buying an AC voltmeter and connect it parallel to the speaker output?
