What, if anything, do high transconductance triodes bring to the table?

I read things like, "This tube has a very high transconductance for exceptional performance in preamplifier and driver circuits." and "Connected as a triode it has super low noise, And "This Russian military triode is a relatively recent design with high transconductance and low mu for exceptional performance at audio frequencies." But no where can I find an explanation of why high transconductance is better.
