i've noticed this since i started playing tube amps in (gulp) the '60s. theory aside, in practical terms, hot tubes just sound better. i turn my amp on standby for about 3-5 minutes as soon as i set it up, then put it on full power for the rest of the night. i never put it on standby between sets so they can stay hot. some will argue with this method, but it's worked for me over 40 years of playing.
