Welcome to the asylum. Damping foam and mass cure most vibration issues. There is a good thread about industrial damping blocks in the tweaks asylum.

You gave me an idea. I had forgotten that I had several sheets of a sorbothane-type of material lying around unused, so I assembled them sticky side together to make 3/16" thick pads for each amp and the external crossovers. A very definite improvement. Thanks for the idea.
Todd,
Beautiful amps! Welcome to the fewer/better watt club. :)
Is that one of your subs directly beneath the table the amp is sitting on? If so, changing that arrangement will likely yield immediate benefits.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of sorbothane/Navcom or other squishy-type vibration taming methods. While those materials help in some ways, I've always found them to deaden and suck all the life out of the music, especially with tube components. If you've got some cones around, give those a try. Point down onto the table, and the plate of the amp directly on the top of the cone (bypass the factory feet).
+1.
Stillpoints, or look at Mr. Walker's cones, Walker turntable fame. Really nice design.
Bricks applied to AMP will allow him to hear mass loading, on 'de cheap, and it gives one direct experience, which is a great approach.

You're right, of course. Sharp eyes, by the way.
I built those bridge tables due to severe space limitations in the house I'm living in. The floors are concrete, so it was my thought that I could get away with it. Maybe, not so much...
I'll talk with Larry in the next few days and get his take on it.
