tubes for Traynor ycv40

I find the stock output tubes in this amp, Sovtek XWT "5881"
to be one-dimensional. Also, they don´t "hold it together" in the
low register when pushed.
I want a 5881 (I like the earlier compression compared to 6L6) with
a little more of everything - bass, treble, overall dynamics.
Suggestions?
TAD 5881? Tung Sol reissue? NOS?

I recently bought a pair of the Tung-Sols for my Bassman. They sound fantastic. I used to own a YCV40, they would probably sound great in there. I am very impressed with these tubes.
