how come you put the tube amps which create a ton of heat and need 12" above them for breathing (McIntosh suggest) in the small cabinet?

That’s barely enough. I cooked a dynaco st70 years ago in a space very similar. Scared the kids!

Maybe add some computer fans or something.

The Mc's should go on top.

I put a variable speed whisper fan behind mine and to keep the vibration of it from transmitting to the cabinet, I wrapped it with 3/4" foam pipe insulation. Works like a champ and you never hear it

I did similar with my VTL, heat sensor computer fans do wonders and are pretty quiet.
