Leaving my amplifier on ok?

Would it be ok to leave my amplifier on all the time if I want to extend the reliability of the amp? Many amplifiers ar Class A, high current bias and tubes might be a problem if energy consumption is a factor. Not to mention Excessive heat from bias operation. Is it possible to extend the life of the amp with leaving it on all the time?

I have  five amps I use every day. There are 4 d amps that I leave on 24/7. Also in use is a single-ended 812 amp, that is in use most of the time (cuz it's so good!)  There is an SET 300B that is used rarely (it makes a good back up when necessary).
