Tube power amp - keep on continually?

I am wondering if there are advantages to leaving tube equipment, such as amps and preamps on continually. I currently own a pair of Rogue M-120, and will turning on and off the m-120 shorten the life of the tubes? If so, to what extent?

DO NOT LEAVE TUBE POWERAMP ON UNATTENDED!
TURN IT OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE LISTENING ROOM.
TURN IT ON AND LEAVE FOR 15...20MIN TO WORM UP BEFORE LISTENING.
