I'm not sure if I understand. An amp designed to colour the sound will, well, colour the sound. Think of the sunglasses as the coloured amp. They're both designed to alter the result, the sunglasses reduces brightness, and the coloured amp can also reduce brightness.
HiFi according to certain standards, does not included a lot of gear, in fact IIRC most of my headphones are not considered HiFi because they have a frequency response that deviates far from neutrality. That doesn't stop me from enjoying them, and that was the point of KimLaroux's post, its about enjoyment.
Sunglasses are designed to take away some sunlight, it's their purpose. However, amplifier is supposed to AMPLIFY the signal, nothing more.
That said, I have nothing against amplifiers that introduce distortion and change the frequency response... They are just not completely hi-fi (high fidelity). IMHO
