I run a couple of hybrid amps and both have circuitry that allows the tubes to be turned off when you switch to stand-by mode. It means a delay when you fire it up again, but not as much as if you turned it off completely. One is an Audio Research and the other is a CJ Premier.
Keeping your tubes fired up all the time will drastically shorten useful life.
