keeping king in the center.

I almost always use the Sicilian defense, and in some games leaving my king in the center seems to be an option.  When is it a viable to keep the king in the center?  If I don't have strong control of the center I wouldn't think about it, but what other things should I consider? Should I have traded off queens, have most minor pieces off the board, both, neither, or should I be considering something else when making this decision?
