It can be an effect of colored amps, a perceptual effect of loudness as noted above, the lack of clipping if there really was not enough power, or often even just imaginary. There are many subjective reasons why an amplifier could sound better to someone than another one. Nevertheless, my answer specifically to "does an Asus Xonar STX have enough power for typical listening with an HD650 or DT990-600 ?" is yes, based on the relevant parameters of the amplifier and headphones.
So is it your opinion that an amp should in theory effect the low frequency and high frequency output equally on a headphone? That the fullness is just a colorization effect of the amp?
