but the issue was bleeders causing the ripple to go down. I cannot see anything related to the choke to cause this since increasing current draw always reduces inductance which should make ripple go up.

which puts us back to the beginning and me asking why bleeding more current causes less ripple. TK said it could be because the amp may be "drawing insufficient current for the chokes to be effective"
I want to know how drawing current makes a choke more effective.

"I want to know how drawing current makes a choke more effective. "
It doesn't in terms of ripple, it does in terms of voltage regulation.
That is to say, if the inductance is less than critical at the lower current draw and at or beyond critical at the higher current draw.
If the inductance is "on the edge" of being a value that is critical and, with a changing current draw, is falling in and out of critical the voltage regulation will be........bad.
All of that aside, I agree with you. For a given inductance (and cap values) more current draw = more ripple.
