I've only had experience with one Woo, but by far and away the biggest step up comes from the actual amp, and not from trying other tubes. You can use tubes to tweak the sound, but you don't need to.
For the most part, the importance/effect of tubes, DACs (gonna get smacked for this one), and cables - on Head-fi - is a bit like the diminishing returns of high end audio. Just as you spend the greatest proportion of money to effect the smallest changes and improvements, the largest amount of chatter seems to be about the tiny area of tweaking and tuning. There are exceptions to this of course.
