Your presumption that larger distortions are more reliably detected by an ABX test is a good one. However, in setting your priorities, keep in mind that the ability to detect a difference may not be the most important criteria.
There are different types of distortion. It is possible that some types of distortion that are difficult to perceive contribute to the build up of listener fatigue, while other types of distortion that are easy to perceive contribute little to fatigue. For example, distortion in digital playback due to moderate levels of jitter may be difficult to detect, but I find it fatiguing and unnatural. Conversely, additive white noise at a moderate level (-60 db) is readily detectable, but is not fatiguing.
