Your amplifier is working, but there is a trickle of bleeding on your bipolar transistor. That is a sign that your amp may eventually quit working.
Replace the bipolor transistor.

i have a princeton 65 and when i turn mine off with the reverb on full, it makes one thud and shuts off. i am pretty sure its just the tubes shutting down, nothing to worry about.

That is capacitors discharging. Don't know if it is normal for that amp though.
