my experience with consoles is that the more individual things get their own channel, the more the mojo of the console i hear.
iow, these two scenarios ---
1) drum sub from pt into channels 1-2, hit input and/or summing bus at Xdb
2) kick, snare, overs on their own channels, together hitting inputs differently but still hitting summing bus at Xdb
--- the result is NOT the same. #2 has more console love. i think that's what you were asking.
getting the distortions on top of every little sound, in just the right amounts, is what i love about desks. my desk has trannies on every input; maybe i want the kick hitting one really hard, the snare not so hard, and the overs not hard at all. these decisions matter, they affect how the eq gets saturated, how the mix bus reacts, how any inserted compressor responds, etc...
i could go on, but only because i'm fanatical.
get the daking, they sound unbelievable, and all will be clear in an instant.
