Trev,I've never had a tube 'blow', or a PS or output tranny burn out, and a while back I bought a Fisher receiver from one of my brother's elderly neighbours where it had been used every day for 40 years, often being left on all the time. It still had all the original tubes. The lady I bought it from had a file with all the receipts of all the things she has ever bought or serviced. There were none for the Fisher, except the sales receipt. It had 2 faults: a hum, due to old PSU caps and resisitors, and a couple of scratchy pots.
I've had far more trouble with Naim and Perreaux amps ( to name 2) than I've had with 20 years of tubes.
....there is a WHOLE LOT MORE sand, in a tube amp, than there is in any SS amp.
In the glass envelopes maybe, but not in the signal path.
