We repair technicians who work for the manufacturer love when you leave them on 24/7. Over many years the heat damage to the circuit boards or the brittle fragility of overheated wires in point-point wired amps makes them unrepairable (well, beyond economical repair, anyway) so we get to sell new amps and preamps.
You can always tell, even with the coolest running solid state units, which older components were left on or turned off during their lifespan.
I say turn them off. And if tubes, absolutely turn them off.
