I think that I would start with the 12AY7 in V1 and 12AX7 in V2 as FEnder originally used in the circuit. AFter that, try a 12AT7 or a 5751 in the PI.
AS Marshman says, don't be afraid of taking a look at increasing the resistance in the bias circuit. This will clean and brighten things..increased headroom and all. Lower current draw increases the plate voltage. That would be a consideration when approaching things in this area.
