Depends on the nationality of the person referring to it.
We say 'valves' and the Americans say 'tubes'. Because they're stupid.

Or, we say 'valves' because that's how they work, Americans say 'tubes' because that's what they look like.

Youll also get hybrid amps where a valve is used at some part of the circuit, usually the preamp stage ie vox valvetronix and marshalls AVT series.

As well as them you can have digital amps which are mostly solid-state but are more like a computer than a normal tranny amp. ie, line 6.
