Sorry - but you've go to stop insinuating things like this - when in reality you simply don't know. There is no magic with this. It is simply a matter of current and voltage swing vs impedance and sensitivity. The HD600 is not a hard load to drive.
And if you looked into the specs on the Element, it can put 140 mW into 600 ohm (9.4 Vrms) and 1/2 a watt into 32 ohms - so it's basically a little powerhouse with more than enough voltage and current to handle most headphones easily.
I was going to comment the other day when I saw some of the things you were saying. If you want to know how easy the HD600 is to drive, I'm sitting here with mine being powered by a tiny little Fiio X1, which only puts a tiny 8 mW into the HD600 (according to the specs), but which sounds absolutely brilliant on low gain at 60-65/100. It doesn't sound at all under-driven.
Most of the time I'll use my Senns with something more powerful - but in a pinch it is amazing what will drive them.
You suggested that the Topping TP30 "could not drive them well" - yet it has sufficient voltage swing (10 vpp = ~ 3.5 Vrms) and will put 140 mw into 32 ohms, so at a guess, around 12-13 mW into 300 ohm. That should be enough to get them easily to 100-110 dB.
If you're looking for a rule of thumb - then an ideal amp output spec would be:
4-6 Vrms
15-20 mA
Around 60+ mW
That would get you all the power you'd ever need - bordering on the threshold of pain in terms of volume
But reality is that you can get by with a lot less
