Depends on the tubes and the amp.

I design circuits that take are of the tubes and I expect over a decade of life. No sudden failure; no premature aging. I do have back-ups ready to go and don't think about the aging thing.

But I don't know what tubes or amp you are running - could be different situation for you.
