What aspects of a tube amp/preamp contribute to "holographic" effect on soundstage?


Can someone explain to me is there any part of a tube amp or preamp that contributes to a more holographic image than another otherwise similar tube amp/preamp?

For example, listening to my PrimaLuna Evo 300 integrated - moving between triode and ultra linear mode. I have read that the ultra linear mode is more "solid state" sounding and has more linearity through the frequency range as opposed to the smooth finesse in the mid range of the triode mode.

However to my ears, using KT 150 power tubes in this unit, in the ultra linear mode I seem to hear greater depth of the layering, what I would call "holographic." The cymbals, piano, bass, vocals, etc all seem to occupy a more defined space front to back in the soundstage than in triode mode. Triode mode in this integrated seems to have a flatter presentation across the left to right soundstage - not as deep or into the room as ultra linear.

Perhaps this is unique to PrimaLuna since there is higher distortion (and higher gain) in the ultra linear mode it is presenting as more "holographic." 

When I owned a Luxman MQ88uSE, which I believe used a triode mode with KT88s, I remember there was MORE of a holographic effect - or a "deeper" soundstage than the Evo 300 in either triode or ultra linear mode. So it is hard to square a direct comparison between the two as to what would affect the deeper/more holographic sound of one amp over another.

Is there any known aspect of tube amp topology that can directly be related to being more holographic versus less holographic? Like KT88s will always be more holographic, or triode mode will always be less holographic, etc?

Thanks!

everything... the whole design and its execution

not to mention the unit’s interaction with other gear in the chain (most notably the speakers)

and most importantly... the placement of the speakers and room it is playing in
@jjss49 I understand where you are coming from but I am talking about all things being equal - the speaker placement, the system, etc - just swapping out one tube amp for another and leaving everything else the same, one amp has a more holographic image than the other - so what is it about the differences in those amps that has that effect.
99% of soundstage is recording dependent! Recordings, analog or digital, vary widely in the spatial aspect one can hear! 
@jsqt 

it is still the entire design and execution of the whole amp and how it interacts with the speaker load... across different amps, you cannot isolate one component or part or aspect versus another... everything works together to produce the sound

in a few amps that are designed to run different types of power tubes (like primalunas, quicksilvers etc) the user has an opportunity to swap tubes, or switch UL/triode to hear a difference, but how do you compare the vastly different sound of a primaluna running kt88's to an audio research vt100-2 running same tubes with different power supply, driver circuit, bias circuit, transformers, transformer taps, internal wiring, rca vs balanced connections, chassis damping?  it all matters

sorry for the inconvenient answer but this i believe is the reality
