Its actually about thermal stability.The resistors very subtly change value thanks to the heating caused by the current flowing through them, the transistors characteristics change with temperature, and so will the sound - the warm up is required to ensure that all componants are thermally stable (and in the case of the transistors, if they are mounted on the same heatsink, they will be at the same operating temperature). Thats why when you bias a SS amp, you need to set it to an initial level, and then re-set it after some significant time has elapsed.
Just doing this with some low cost amps can be a veritable transformation.
