A question wtih possibly no answer re: system dynamics

Dear y'all,
In your experience, is there one piece in the audio chain that can have the biggest influence on the dynamics of a system? I hope that I'm using the term correctly, but what I mean is the visceral 'punch' that some systems have that mine doesn't. And I'm not referring to just bass energy, I'm talking about a completely dynamic presentation, without regard to low bass (I don't use a sub), if this is possible.
What I've found, as of late, is that overall, my system has progressed to the point that my ears actually prefer it to some uber-$$$ systems that I hear in hi-fi shops. The one thing that I seem to be lacking, however, is dynamics. Tonally, my setup has a very good presentation. The soundstage and imaging, as well, suit my tastes. However, it is a dynamically 'flat' sound, and I'm thinking of ways to remedy this...
I will shortly be buying parts to do some upgrades in my CDP: new opamps, upgraded caps and Rs. Hopefully, this might help. I'm also going to be adding acoustic panels to my listening room next year. I'm hoping that this might help, as well. But I can't help but think that there is more that I can be doing.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions on what single component in the audio chain can most effortlessly give a dynamic presentation, if it is even possible for a single component to do this?
I may be way off here, but I appreciate your thoughts anyway!
Cheers,
Chris

P.S. My system is listed under my moniker if it helps. Cheers.
