Where did you hear that you even need any graduated "warm up" of studio strobes? I have a lot of Profoto gear, and have never done any such process. I also never have heard any recommendation like that. If you know of an authoritative source that mentions a warm up, please post the information.
If the theory of such a warm up is related to the main energy capacitors, and "reforming" them, it would only take seconds for any energy application to be effective. And using lower power settings and working up will only have some of the capacitors hooked in and energized at the low powers, and then bring on other capacitors as you get to higher power, so the process may not make sense any way. The classic way to keep capacitors "formed" is to not let them go un powered for very long periods, so testing or using your strobes every year or two might be better than letting them stay idle for 4 years, but for modern capacitor design and construction, even that theory may be obsolete.
