I think the function is quite clear: to separate the ignorant from their money. It certainly strikes me as being little more than a toy or novelty item. It may be OK to feed into an EL84 from something with a line-level input but I'd certainly make such a thing from scratch. This looks a more practical thing.
Still, if people THINK it improves the sound, and such things are highly subjective (said the man with a µA741 in his radiogram!), good luck to them.
