I don't have experience with vintage electronics but from purely hypothetical point of view I guess there are two major warm up processes:
1. Warming up and reaching thermal stability by semiconductors.
2. Electrochemical processes in electrolytics.
Since you describe that cold amps have problems with generating "excess dynamics" I'd guess it is the second. *Might* be the old caps cannot provide enough current on demand until they fully charge/stabilize. If you are going to put a heater and pre-heat the amp you will quickly falsify the option 1.
