which will *tend* to lead to "faster" sound.
After complete break-in, if you still feel like "little light on bass and a little thinner in tone," I would try taking out all the bypass caps (both to coupling cap and PS caps) and listen. If still not there, I personally then would add back some small paper-in-oil bypass caps to the coupling cap..
