They are different tubes. The Dynaco boards were designed to work with a 12AX7 and it's active feedback RIAA compensation needs all the gain to work the EQ task which is quite a mountain to climb. You should follow the recommendations that dynaco issued for B+ voltage. Maybe you have a power supply problem. Many of these early 12ax7 feedback circuits ran them low PLATE current, around 1MA, which starved the tube. Generally if you change one thing you have to wind up changing many other things to compensate.
