It has to do with how much of the preamp is tube, some of the gain stage, all of the gain stage, buffer stage, even whether it has tube rectifiers in the power supply. Some tube preamps are hybrids, using both solid state and tubes in the gain stages, obviously these units would use fewer tubes. All tube gain stages use more tubes, even more if tubes are used as buffers, and more yet if used in the power supply as rectifiers.
My SLP-98P uses two tubes in each line and phono stages, and another two tubes in each stage for buffers, 8 tubes total. No tube rectification though.
