Is it a Series 3 or 4? When I burn through all my Sovtek and Ruby quads lying around I am going over to JJ so far, they destroy all others for long life imo and usage. Sovteks are better tanks for 6l6 but tend to be noisy and cardboard. I find same issues with the pre amp tubes also. Re; 12AX7WA..... When you say stock GT are you referring to the Chinese or the Russian tubes?
Ah the Russian ones are really fickle imo. They tend to be the Older Sovtek versions with GT and not the slightly better Electro Harmonix version. Whats the difference? Plate color, springs and better contacts and better ruggedness. My AOR 100 when I bought it came with both the Sovteks and the EH mixed you can hear the slight difference. Lots of rattles depending on when played. Tubes are like new and I will use them up then get prol JJ. I have the GTEL34M aka Chinese tubes and they are also fickle.
X100B's are 'moody'. Sometimes they sound great and sometimes they sound as if they had a bad cold... Anyway, I love mine. Great playing as always.
I have an older XV212 based off the X100A series 3 style and its very moody as well. Its running NOS Sovtek 6P3S-E/5881WGC atm whats your amp using?

Marco Muiretta It's a series 4. I haven't changed the tubes since I bought it brand new (I don't play that much now) but I believe they are russian.
