Hi there!  I asked Mark Kim, who currently helps maintain Tux Paint for
macOS, and he responded:

Tux Paint for macOS has the default stamps (cartoon/tux) installed here:

   - /Applications/TuxPaint.app/Contents/Resources/share/tuxpaint/stamps

Tux Paint Stamps Installer for macOS can install additional stamps in these
locations:

   - /Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/stamps (system-wide,
     installation for all users)
   - ${HOME}/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/stamps (installation for
     a single user)
   - /Applications/TuxPaint.app/Contents/Resources/stamps (installation
     inside the application)

To which location it installs the stamps depends on which option user chose
during the install [see attached screenshot].

I only know of two offhand.  One appears to no longer be online, but
appears to have been archived by Internet Archive's Wayback Machine:

 * Tuxpaint Stamps for Australian Schools
   (Collection of stamps and other resources for tuxpaint for use in,
   and specific to, Australian Schools. Content includes Australian coins,
   bank notes, signs, animals, plants, state flags, etc.)

 * TuxPaint - Jamaican Stamps
   (A handful of common Jamaican items (ackee, Dr. Bird, the flag,
   etc.) for use with the TuxPaint software.)
