I agree with above statement. Change the preamp first. For tubes I would go with Rouge RP5 or RP7
RP5 has phono stage
RP7 no phono but fully balanced
or
Hegel P20 or P30 for solid state. Everyone wants to change the amp but their missing the big picture. My local shop that sells both. https://holmaudio.com/
Also, 
Change you power cord on your amp from the stock to a 14 AWG or 12 AWG cable
