Burn in the tubes for at least 1500 hours then listen to the amp again.

1500? that's 25% of the life of the tubes lol

For the driver tubes (small ones) 5654 are compatible, for the power tubes you'll need 6H6PI but i've no idea if upgrading the power tubes makes any difference.
 
So just look for 5654 tubes for now.
 
Matched pair of Sylvania Gold Pin might be nice

Or Raytheon 6AK5 will also work and are highly rated amongst head-fiers

Ones i've tried and really like are the Mullard M8100

You need a matched pair like the links above and not just 1 tube on its own, also remember the differences will be subtle, might not be worth the cost to you.

wish all ppl help like what you did , another thing , is there a certain tubes to use with a low impedence cans like the denon d2000?
thanx alot

Impedence doesn't matter really, with the Denon's you'll likely want a tube that will bring out the midrange a bit more, someone else might be able to tell you which one is best for that.

No, you're supposed to use output transformers with low impedance headphones. The only tubes that do low impedance well are ones like the 6C33C and 6C41C. Those won't work in your amp.

Either that or go solid state, which almost always has a low output impedance.
