Amplifier power output uses vacuum tube
Single-ended triode tube amplifier. Otherwise, if not SET, tube amps will likely be push-pull.
Input gain stage uses vacuum tube output stage does not

Balanced architecture internally
Power supply for amplifier comes in a seperate chassis (box)
Wall power consumed when on standby
Wall power consumed when on but not playing music
number of channels; i.e. 1 for monoblocks, 2 for stereo and 3 or more for home theater

Single-ended input impedance. Double this for balanced inputs
Total weight of all boxes required to make a stereo amplifier
the basic design of the circuit. Class A is simplest and runs the hotest. Class D is a relatively new design that is efficient but is only now becoming perfected for audio
Changing the voltage from 110 to 220 and back
A post to connect grounding wire to, often helpful for troublesome turntable setups
