I think you're exactly right. It's a combination of the whole that makes
the difference. There is a "sweet spot" that can be found when the
octaves are tuned with the already tuned unisons. More volume that adds
to itself as you tune up and down.

Could very well be. When you achieve P12ths and an aural tuner ends up
with P12ths, we must be onto the same thing. Your tuning (for which you
posted the link) sounded really good.
