If you did a good hygienic job in cleaning or re-cleaning after the fish cleaners did their job, you can keep the loins on ICE in a cooler for at least a week. The important part is cutting ALL the blood grove out and putting them in a new, clean, dry ziplock bag before icing them down and keeping them iced until you plan to use them. I stop sushi use after 4-5 days but I have eaten tuna that is at least a week old, it tastes great, and still no fishy smell.

I like the vacu-seal idea. I will have to try that next time, hopefully soon!
