The transmission line design is better than a port and accomplishes the same thing but does a much better job of it, so yes it sounds better. The reason that you don't see it so often in speaker designs is that it is hard to design and takes a lot of prototypes to get it right, then once a best final design is chosen, it is still much more expensive to build. That doesn't mean that there are not better still ported speaker designs available. There is a lot more to speaker design that loading the woofer.
It sounds like you like to play the system at very high levels. That is challenging for any speaker and some amps. The best way to get more volume and dynamics is by choosing more efficient speakers. They simply deliver much more output and dynamics with the same input power. The trade-off with higher efficiency speakers however is almost always a reduction in how warm the system sound is. So getting rich harmonics and a warm midbass or really deep and powerful low end is often not easy to do. One of the few speakers that seem to be able to do all of the above are the Tannoy Dual Concentric designs. You might also consider biamping by using a pair of powered subs to fill in the bottom register. You can use the crossover that comes with the subs to add more bass or a more sophisticated outboard unit for even more dynamic headroom at higher frequencies.
