Seriously, if it doesn't sound the way you want, you either need a different speaker or a different amp. You can only make minor changes by changing valves, and probably even less with other components unless you change values as well.
You cannot make a Blues Junior into something that sounds like (for example) a 5E3 Deluxe by changing the transformer or the caps. It's not a bad amp, but it's not a great amp - the limitations are in the circuit design, not the components.
A different speaker will still make more difference than anything else.
What is it you don't like about the sound now?

By the end of it you'll have more money in it than a used Deluxe Reverb Reissue, and it'll still sound pretty much the way it does now.
Fine-tuning a lovely-sounding amp to your own personal taste is a fun and rewarding journey, but trying to stop a Blues Junior sounding like a Blues Junior is frustrating, expensive and doesn't really work.
A V30 is maybe going too far, but I'm not sure...
