If the amp is in free air the temperature of the amp would reach some point and stabilise. But in your case the heat may build up since it is enclosed. Even the tube case that it originally came in is vented on all sides. Your cabinet space is fairly large but only checking actual temperatures over a period time will let you know if you have a problem. Heat causes a slow deterioration of parts and tubes and for the best longevity running your tube equipment in the coolest environment is best.
