Leave amps on or off?

Is it better to leave amps on or off when not in use,not including tubes.they do sound better warm but will affect the life span?

I have a tube preamp which I leave in standby mode when no being used. Of course once the preamp warms up the sound is even better, but by leaving the amp on all the time I am amazed at the improvement.
