Well now . . . 'taint 'zactly so . . .  You need to experience what happens
when you put a really LOUD QRO signal on a crowded frequency sometime.  The
frequency gets MUCH quieter than it was, thereby allowing you to hear more.
Don't tell that QRO does not allow you to hear better . . .

Here is an ADDED plus for a big amp:  You generally get the advantages on
ALL bands, not just the ones the antenna is cut for . . .

PS   OH GOD.  Big secret out of the bag . . .
