Tube rolling preamp or power amp gain tubes, which ones (or both)?

I have a PrimaLuna DiaLogue HP power amp and its preamp mate the DiaLogue Premium. Both units came with six stock gain tubes each. Does anyone know if I would affect the resulting sound more by rolling out only the preamp gain tubes? Or is there more of an effect by rolling out only the power amp gain tubes? Are the "greatest" impacts produced by rolling out the gain tubes on both units?

Always start in the preamp and work your way downstream.

How this works is: if you don't get the signal right upstream, you can't fix it downstream. Have fun- don't drive yourself crazy (and by that I mean don't obsess over it- you can ruin tube sockets that way...).
