In reality gain (in pounds :-) directly and surely affects body. To test it, switch to ice cream, apple danish with coca cola few times per day or more and drive-thru adventures via famous American food chains to experiment on body and gain.
Aside from humor, gain is important to reach necessary signal strength. If it's insufficient, than there will be an insufficient body. Gain must be increased either at source or preamp level. Gain of poweramp will affect the output power, but if there's not enough input signal, this gain obviously won't affect body or even if it will it may not be to the benefit of sound quality.
