Well the 12AX7's that the Doc used are very good. You possibly could get a little more gain from buying another brand which are labeled as high gain. I doubt you will see much difference and it will probably sound worse.
What I have come to understand after many years and dollars of swapping tubes in my Z's is that the tubes the Doc uses are what is best for the amp. He has the refined ear and the tubes he picks sound best at the end of the day.
The tubes in the Z Wreck are not cheap. Tung Sol pre amp tubes cost way more than the JJ's. The output tubes are NOS premium quality as well.
If you want more gain out of the Z Wreck, either use an overdrive pedal or use an Airbrake.
