There's not a lot you can do to make it better.  It only has a single 12AX7,
and you do NOT want to swap it for a lower gain tube.

The one thing I'd double check is the speaker.  Optimally it should be a 3.2
ohms.  A 4 ohm speaker will work.  If it's 8 ohms, change it for a 4 or 3.2
ohm.

I usually run mine with treble most of the way down, bass turned up a bit
depending on how early I want it to break up, and volume around 6 to 8.
