I noticed that, in general, changes in the playout policy have a much
bigger impact on larger boards than on smaller boards.

I think rating differences are emplified on larger boards. This is easy to
see if you think about it this way :
Somehow a 19x19 board is like 4 9x9 boards. Let us define a new game that I
would call 4-Go where instead of playing one game, you play simultenously 4
games and determine the winner by calculating the sum of the scores of the
four games. Certainly rating differences would be bigger with 4-go than with
go (given the same two players). This explains why rating differences are
bigger on 19x19 than 9x9.
