Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units?

Hi folks,
If you upgraded a point-to-point wired tube amp or preamp, what did you upgrade?
I assume capacitors, but was there anything else which you upgraded that made a genuine difference for the sound?
I am looking into improving the caps in my Quicksilver stuff, but before doing that, I am curious if there's anything in addition to caps which I should consider.
Thanks.

Had a few of coupling caps failed in a few tube amps, my current pre replaced all coupling and power supply caps with Vcaps, Mundorfs, and Jupiter.

Replaced IEC inlet with Furutec and went to Amperex tubes.

That said, things become more reliable but can change the sound for better or worse.
