P1 tube, I've tried a few. I was looking for the same thing you are and tried a 12AU7 which did give far less gain and more clean headroom but left the amp as flat as a turd IMO. I went back to the original 12AY7.

He advised against swapping them for old ones because he doesn't trust them if you can only buy them on eBay.
I changed mine immediately to some old Mullards bought on eBay and the tone difference was substantial, as it always is when you put great old tubes in.
For most clean headroom keep a 12ay7 in v1. It'll stay clean for longer with a Gold, I'd have thought
For clean headroom I think the Blue is likely to be better than the Tayden as I think it's a couple of dB louder.
I must admit, I do wonder sometimes at what people are hearing/experiencing with their Lazy Js... Mine has AY7, as per the diagram above, and gets seriously loud and clean.
i actually love the 'almost' clean sounds of the Lazy J
