Both of my tube amps sit on amp stands with nothing above them but the ceiling. That is really a very tight space for an amp that probably generates a lot of heat..... not only from the tubes, but from the power transformer as well. Relocating the amp to the top of the unit would work nicely for ventilation plus free up space for future components below. However, that might leave you with a handful of IC's that are now too short. Also not sure on the height of the unit for all practical purposes. Aside from relocating the amp, cooling fans, like others have mentioned, might be your best shot.
