Cayin TA 30 with KT 120 tubes?

I have a Bizzy Bee modded Cayin TA 30 currently loaded with KT 88s. According to Paul @ Bizzy Bee (RIP), the amp can take KT 90s which I have used on this amp, as well. Just wondering if it would be possible to use the new KT 120s. I've been seeing quite a bit of favorable reviews on the KT 120s and I'd really like to give it a shot. I'm just trying to wring out as much power for my not so super sensitive speakers.
Thanks in advance.

Mike,
I have the same amp running the Winged "c" 34s and was wondering how the 90s compares to the 34s if you have made that comparison.

Audiogabby,
I was using Matsushita EL 34s before going with EI KT 90s. I really prefer the 90s over the 34s. Maybe its the type of music I like (rock, some pop). To my ears, the 90s sound bigger/heavier, with a little more bass. The KT88s sounds a little mushier, and not as airy as the 90s.
