voltage transformer and tube gear

I have tube pre and considering buying a tube amp. I will be posted overseas to a 220v/50hz destination soon and will bring along my toys. Could anyone tell me whether using a step up transformer is all I need or is there more to it than that. I know in the case of turntable we have to be concerned about the difference in hz (50hzvs60hz)but what about amp and pre.

Detlof,
I truly apprecaite your helfful advice. If I were to buy a 50watts tube, what would be the appropriate size for the transformer? Does this apply to both tube and solid state?
Thanks again
