A better software configuration is a must and if you can I'd consider using more than single server. It might actually be more cost effective to run a few lower end servers than one big beefy one.

That't not nessesarily huge. The real bottleneck is disk io on video downloads. If for instance he doesn't host the vids himself and uses embeds or sponsor videos, then a single server should be able to handle that without any problems.
It's really next to impossible to predict how much server power someone needs for a tube...all the vids are different bitrates, you don't know how the users will behave (1 video each or 10 each, watch whole video or 10 seconds and move to the next one around in it, or skip around in one video, etc)...too many variables.
