Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation.
That’s pushing it! I think you meant to say preferences.  Prejudices are not knowledge... Synergy matter more than prejudices...    
Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter
That sounds awesome. I’ve two systems in the basement because it sounds so much better than upstairs. Concrete rocks. Photos would be interesting.

I've been using tubes for so long I forget what a solid state amp sounds like.   
Virtual System Page...broken?
@carlsbad2  Thanks, Jerry. They do take up space for sure but they're like books, old friends.   
Virtual System Page...broken?
Looks fine to me. Hi-Fi Audio Systems & Audiophile Listening Rooms (audiogon.com) Here's mine. Vintage (mostly) | Virtual Listening Room (audiogon.com)

Is Van den Hul Frog Gold a good choice for my rig?
Seems a single major upgrade brings longer reward. 😃 Although, I suppose you just upgraded as models were released. Audio Research PH 2, 2SE, 3, 3SE, 5, 8, and finally an ARC Ref 3    
Schiit Audio Loki Max experience
Remember the Cello Audio Palette? $6500 in 1992.
