From time to time, I'll begin playing music and find that the vocals especially sound very recessed and everything sounds thin, overall. Usually turning the amp on and off again fixes the issue - in fact, everything sounds better the moment the amp is turned off, before the sound dies off.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

How are your voltages? 

I would strongly suspect there's a flaky solder joint at work, as this is how I would describe the sound of a bad joint to someone.
