Tube amp on the floor or on the rack?


I just bought a BAT VK-60 tube amp yesterday and now I
need to re-arrange my set-up. I don't trust putting
the amp on the floor, so can I put it on the top shelf
of my rack? Every tube amp on a dealers showroom is on
the floor. Any particular reason?
Thanks,
Dave

Thanks for all the input. I don't have the luxury of a
dedicated listening room, so it doubles as the family
room. For that reason, my amp on the floor isn't really
safe. My rack will actually accomodate the VK-60, and
I would put it on the top shelf. It's an open design,
so air flow won't be a problem. It's either take my
chances on the floor or stow it safely on the rack, so
I'm trying to decide which way to go.
