Okay, I must be the exception. I hear no difference when swapping out rectifiers in my pre-amp. When talking to the manufacture, I was told that my preamp's DC requirements are conservative, therefore, the power will not sag when pushed.
This could be correct. But if you know how to play around with the voltage, that could change this.

There are a few companies now manufacturing tubes, that have tried to produce valves, copying the internal construction/design parameters of some of the most popular, from decades back. Mainly, what they’ve succeeded in duplicating(capitalizing on) is the marque only(ie: Telefunken/Mullard/Gold Lion/Tung Sol), as none genuinely perform like the originals.
General statement maybe true but when trying the copy cats, you may need to adjust the voltage as they may need some adjustment here.
For the GZ34, I have been using JJ's with great results over some of the NOS tubes. Cheap to!
See Almarg's comments above mine.
Happy Listening.
