If you use DHT power tubes,they will warm up immediately.

I am using 6V6GT tubes
If you use a center tapped secondary on the high voltage,just put a switch on the CT ground or a delay so that when the output tubes are warmed up,you will be ready by just throwing the switch or having a relay set on delay.

I could do that with a B+ switch.
Also throwing a switch will usually cause a "thump" and seeing that thump on your speakers can be frightening.
Are you making a single ended or pp amp? If se, a 6106 will be adequate and has a very long 40+ seconds before fully conducting.
One of the Cary/AES amps do it that way with the switch on the CT and I didn't remember it causing a thump but it may have been on a preamp.

Perhaps I will use the switch to turn on the rectifier tube filaments.
