What you are probably looking at is the signal plus noise devided by noise ratio defined in decibels. A higher (larger) number is better. But, you have to be very careful that all the amps are rated in the same way. Typically, they aren't. Bren has a valid point. Make sure that they are compared the same. Best would be at higher powers where the components (power supplies, etc) may be stressed.

Makers have been playing games with these numbers from the get-go.
