There are two different effects here in that comparison.  One is the stacking gain for the four stack, but the other is the difference in takeoff angle for an antenna on 20m at a height of 140' versus 70'. Attributing all of that supposed 20dB purely to stacking gain is wrong.

##  It was on the  front  cover of a  CQ magazine, back in the 80's.   He
stacked em at  35-70-105-140'.   With all 4 driven in phase, he was  20 db
louder than another ham, close by, who had just a single  TH-7 up  70'.
I find that hard to believe, but that was what was reported.
The article was entitled.... "TH-28".
