The final result always depend on the combination of equipment.

I auditioned a 372 before I bought my 270; they were both driving my MMGs. They sounded very, very similar. I found they both were "warm" in the mid and upper bass; (see my definition: this is what "warm" refers to per me).

But I agree that these models are relatively "unrefined". Certainly neither had the detail or transparency of units I auditioned before I upgraded. I listen at greatest length to Monarchy SM-70 Pros, (class 'A' monoblocks), and Bel Canto eVo2i, (class 'T' digital integrated). I settled on the Bel Canto which is definitely not "warm" but quite neutral throughout.
