I use some homemade heavywieght caps on my Miraphone 191 with good results. As an experiment, I recently tried putting heavy caps on my PT-10 F tuba. It did give a much darker sound with more core. If I was using the horn mainly for symphonic playing, I might leave it that way. I then experimented with using heavy caps on some of the valves of my horn, and ended up with using heavy caps on just the 1st and 3rd valves. This is admittedly a compromise position, solidifying the tone some, while keeping the basic tonal quality of the F tuba largely intact.
