Is my ARC LS25 MkI holding back the sound?

It isn't the tubes that's for sure. There are no KT120s or KT150s in there. They ring like crazy - so much for tube dampening.

Yes, I know that one doesn't normally move the preamp around but the sounds are really disconcerting.

Um... Nope. Maybe your ordeal isn't over. What the heck.
