I think it simply refers to what the circuit does when the switch is in the "off" position; disabling the high voltage circuit portion of the tube circuit.
A nice explanation of the switch's purpose and (mis)use can be found in the short article
"The Great Standby Switch Myth" from the Sweetwater website.
