Charles;

With your particular amp I wouldn't be concerned with heat damaging a solid wood cabinet. If anything I would be more concerned with veneer delamination as a result of excess heat.

I believe you have the same output tube shroud as pictured (Colberanimals).
If so, you can see how the metal shroud would both protect the wood by acting as a heat sync, as well as diverting the heat away and rearward.

The 7189's and the GZ 34 rectifier located in the rear most part of the chassis are responsible for the majority of heat output, while the small signal/driver tubes (12AX7, 7199) in the front of the chassis put out very little heat.
