A while back I put my Paramours on a Variac so I could drop in some 45s in place of the 2A3s. This turned out to be an improvement in sound for me. I was A/Bing between Sovtec and Valve Arts, since it involves no parts changes just a simple Variac dial spin, but left the 45s in. Increase in bass, which is not surprising with less plate current, and overall better sound. Sounds similar to what others are hearing switching to better output iron. Used 45s are in the $20 to 30 range so its not that big of money hit, that is if you have a Variac handy.
