The better the amp, the more they rock.

is it just my bithead, or maybe my source? Don't get me wrong - it's a very appealing sonic signature, and I like it, but maybe is there more there that I just didn't get to hear because of my setup?
Now, I've heard they're not the most Bass-heavy can, and I suppose the ARE supposed to be a reference phone...but It was like my 32 and 64 Hz on my EQ were turned way down...
is this maybe the notorious K701 break-in time coming into effect?
anyone want to shed some light on this?

The bass will depend on the quality of the amp. As good as the TAH and TBH are with the K701s, they don't have the power supply to pull everythng out of the AKGs that those phones have to offer (after all, there's only so much you can put into an amp of that size -and Headroom has put the best they can in there). The K701s are a bit power hungry, especially when it comes to reproducing bass accurately. Move up to the Micro line and you'll be amazed at what those amps can do for the bass of the K701s. The Desk Top, Home, and Maxed Out lines will do even better.
