It takes 2-4 hours for my high-end SS amp and high-end valve CD / DAC system to warm up to hit its peak performance capabilities. It is a very common practice, especially with tubes.
But it does not involve playing it loud, or even playing it all during this start-up ""warm-up" logistics exercise. Rather just letting it all calmly warm up slowly on its own and actually leaving it alone suffices.
I'm puzzled by the OP's gear requirement to crank it up as his required modus operandi.
