So rest easy. If you changed your amp and you now must advance your volume control to a higher position for a given listening level, all other things being equal, you likely now have less distortion in your signal path.
A higher volume position on the pre driving a different amp, indicates the new amp has lower sensitivity. This requires more drive from the pre.
Distortion increases as the output device is allowed to be driven harder. The volume control is nothing more than a gate between the source and the grid.
There are other variables that can effect THD,IM as well.
Cheers,
