Hey Mark.
In my experience tube rush will be minimal (if any at all) if you keep the gain pots on the unit lower than 9:00. But unless you've got gain to burn in your amp, having the pots this low probably won't provide you with much output using a LOMC cartridge without a SUT.
I think that if you are running the gain pots high enough to run a LOMC with the Wright you're certain to have a lot of tube rush! It might help to keep in mind that while it has tons of gain the WPP100 is a MM phono stage.
IMHO it would be definitely worthwhile to get or make a SUT. There is a lot of information about how to make a high quality SUT inexpensively with Cinemag transformers, over at the vinyl asulum. If you are certain that you won't be getting a SUT though you might consider selling the Denon and getting a good quality MM instead?
I hope this helps.
Jim
