It has three 12AX7, two EL84, and two 6V6. What I'm asking is ways to maybe get a cleaner sound out of it and maybe ideas for replacement tubes.

Well el84s are not exactly known for having any type of clean headroom as thats typically more for 6l6 Fender style amps or even el-34s in high wattage amps. Their is still no reason your clean should be lacking as thats a great amp. I would first make sure your tubes are securely in, if they are perhaps you just need a replacement.
Tubes by Type
I would if I were you take the amp into your local guitar shop that has an amp tech and have him play it. See what he recommends because you may not need new tubes at all, so dont waste the money.
I wish I had an egnator! Looks like a great little amp.
