i think vintage receivers drive the headphones off the main circuit through some resisters (new receivers may have a separate chip-based amp for headphones).
This probably can make a big diference comparing the old receivers using the powerfull main circuit against the new headphone amps with simpler dedicated chip-based amp (?)
Maybe Ivan could try on his 125watt receiver and tells us about...
