I've never heard this level of sonics in any store's demo listening rooms. But then again, when you think about it, the sound you describe is rarely heard anywhere. Period.
Far and away, the biggest factor (yes everything is a factor) toward achieving this level is the amplifier. If one fails at that purchase, they are doomed to mediocre sonics at best.
Get the amplifier part right, and you're out the starting gate in the right direction and everything else toward achieving that level of sonics becomes easier and easier but still takes time. Get it wrong and there's no hope.
And with my limited experience, I am of the opinion that finding an amplifier that exemplifies sonic superiority top to bottom, etc., etc., is truly like finding a needle in a haystack.
Amps of this caliber are rare but they do exist, but one has to know what they are looking for. Or at least recognize it when they hear it.
The next factor toward achieving this level is proper line-conditioning and addressing the AC electrical. I say proper line-conditioning because in my limited experience and research, this too is like finding a needle in a haystack.
-IMO (of course)
