If you tuned a typical antenna system for x, then swr dip, then field strength, would any receiving station notice the difference?

Obviously it is a hobby and we tend to strive for perfection, but does it really matter? Am I going to get 20% more power if I tune by field strength? Certainly a valve and bipolar wouldn't have the same gain at their optimum impedance?
