Distance from speaker to ears has something to do with it...

Judging by the way speak about "system dynamics", I'm going to assume that you would idolize a lively sounding system that emphasizes transient shifts during musical playback. Listening in nearfield helps to attain this goal because you are minimizing room interactions with the speaker's output. I myself have taken this principle to it's extreme by building my system around the AKG K-1000 earspeakers, which feature dynamic transducers that hover in free space less than an inch away from my ears. Talk about "system dynamics" - this headphone system definitely has it in spades. While it's probably true that you cannot retrieve much more in the way of "system dynamics" than is encoded on a recording, it is equally true that one of the biggest obstacles to "dynamic" sound lies somewhere inside of the typical speaker/room/ear relationship.
