The biasing voltages of tubes can go over 600v .... The capacitors inside your amp can carry those lethal charges for hours or even days after you switch off the amp .
I've never heard of someone who died while fixing his amp , but you should take care while doing yours ... Just wear heavy gloves (like those in your kitchen) , discharge those caps one way or another.
