Triode or Ultralinear mode

I have a Cary SLI-80 F1 which can run in triode or ultralinear mode. I have nough power in the triode mode, but find more excitement/energy in the ultralinear mode. What are other people doing? Is there something special in the triode mode that I am missing?

My Aric Audio amp is switchable also and I usually prefer triode.It's not thin sounding at all,the timbre is better but of course won't play as loudly.If I'm in the mood for a big dynamic sound I switch it back.I'm also betting more efficient speakers are needed.
I turn the amp off when switching modes per Aric's instructions.
