Of course the power supply has influence on how an amp sounds. And depending on how deficient the power supply is, it may or may not have more influence than the tubes or circuit topology used.
But building a good stable power supply is mature engineering. Even by just copying classic proven designs one can be assured the power supply isn't a sonic deficiency to the amplifier.
Just follow standard proven engineering principles. They work for the world at large. Yes you can use the power supply to produce certain sonic colorations but IMO, that's not the intended function of a power supply.

I don't know how I could phrase it anymore specifically than I did; all other things being equal, would the design of the power supply or the type of tube have the largest effect on the sound of an amplifier?
I just can't come up with a good answer without more specific circuit information. Could go either way in my book.
This is a perfect DIY thing to try and see.
