Counting my active monitors as monoblocs (each channel contains a tri-amp for the three drive units and an electronic crossover)and with 10 years of Naim mono amps before.
Furthermore I have friends with tube monoblocs and the only problem has been with the odd tube failing, which could happen with any such amp mono or stereo.
So I would say that your friends have experienced an unusual coincidence. After all there is nothing fundamentally different about a mono v. stereo version of similar amps that would cause an abnormal level of failures in one or the other assuming that the power supply is adequate.

To be fair, I would not count a tube failing as an issue..that can happen with a stereo amp.
It may be that there could be environmental issues that have cause the problems...power surges here in the northeast are common..or something similar.
As I said, tube failure can happen with any amp mono or stereo.
Why would power surges affect mono amps but not stereo ones?
Yeah, the power normally surges into just one monobloc...
