JR 19 to sound like it is playing through a tube amp?

There was a time not too long ago it would crash MC. I haven't tried it again since.
Give it a swing, maybe it will work.

It's crashing here as well - a pretty catastrophic failure actually - Media Center just disappears when I try to play anything with this VST enabled.

Real shame. That was a fun plugin to play with.

What exactly do [you think] an amp powered by tubes sounds like? Why not handle this downstream?

I have it operating right now with the latest and greatest version of JRiver MC. I just do not know enough to adjust the values properly. On loud thumps from the drum it distorts. I do not want this. I just want a warming effect on the audio. What parameters should I use for this purpose?

Tube amps (the ones I've heard anyway) tend to have a distinct distortion profile (described as warm, kind of like record hiss) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_sound. All amps introduce some distortion, but tube amps tend to have a different sounding distortion profile than solid state amps do. Some tube amps exhibit it more than others (like any amp), and it's most obvious when the amp is overdriven (like in a conventional tube guitar amp).
If you're serious about there not being a distinct "tube sound" to tube amplifiers, you must have access to much lower distortion tube amps than the ones I've interacted with ;D
The plugin (when working and not making terrifying noises) reproduced the conventional "tube sound" pretty well, and you could adjust the drive to get a subtler or more conspicuous tube coloration.

Try turning down the drive knob all the way down and see if that helps.
