With my Mjolnir, I just leave it on all the time. That way it stays warmed up. It takes up to an hour for tube equipment to warm up, so you don't really want to wait that long every time. As far as tube life, some theories go that the tubes actually last longer leaving the unit on all the time because there are fewer thermal stress cycles.
And as previously mentioned, it requires shorter internal routing to put the switch on the back. A very high-end brand of amp, Audio Note, always does that on the their best equipment. They put the switch on the front on their inexpensive equipment.
