tube amp storage

My question is how long can a tube amp sit unused before you would need a variac or slow turn on method to turn it on? To be clear I am asking specifically about a newish Jolida 502P

And also, I'm sad you're planning to not use the amp...don't you care about all the people out there who don't have a 502p to not use? It's just unfair...sniff...
