Clean the mute push button switch real well.  That caused the exact problem in mine that you are having in yours. 
KT 150 impressions
I also feel the KT120 tubes have some kind of glare.  I heard a friends Prima Luna HP Integrated with the KT150 tubes, it sounded incredible.  Deep taut bass and fantastic mids and highs.

I miss my Rectilinear III highboy speakers.   I sold them for the Large Advents which were a disappointment compared to the Rectilinears. 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Pink Floyd, "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn"           mono vinyl and I still have it.  I purchased it from Muffets Music in Providence, RI because they sold import records....   I believe that was in 1966 or 67.
