An excellent example of this is the old Dynaco Stereo 70, a venerable 35 watt tube amp. Dynaco made something called the Mark IV, which was the exact same parts and construction except for the power transformer (which was a little smaller than the one on the Stereo 70) on a mono chassis.
The Mark IVs are obviously better amps.
This is the best example I can think of to demonstrate what we are talking about here in the OP, which is:
**All other things being equal, the monoblock amplifier will always be better.**
Less crosstalk, less IMD, lower noise, etc translates to smoother sound, better soundstage, more bass authority etc.
