The problem comes if the high order harmonics are rising at a faster rate than the lower order harmonics thus disrupting the pattern that was set at low power.
Correct! And that is why SETs have such a reputation for being 'dynamic'. Its also why they sound 'loud' like they are making a lot of power when they aren't. People that are into SETs often talk about things you can hear that are not measured, amps that sound good but measure poorly. This is one of those things you can easily hear.
IMO/IME when audiophiles talk about 'dynamics' you can safely replace the word 'dynamics' with the word 'distortion' without changing the meaning of the conversation.
