What component is responsible for dynamics ?


If one is looking to increase the dynamics of their system , what one component will offer the most beneficial change ?

All aspects of a system matter. It would certainly be an advantage to use high efficiency speakers with an undemanding impedance load.
It's the speaker ...

uh, the amp ...

uh, the amp and the speaker working together ...

us, and the signal strength coming from the source component ...

and of course the mastering on the vinyl/CD ...

oh yeah, and throw the preamp in there because, you know, it's in the signal chain and has gain too, unless you're running a passive and this discussion is moot to you.

The loudspeaker is the largest offender in reducing or expanding dynamic range.
