Yes that's a great observation on your part. With vibrations "wasted" on the neck there is less inertia to drive the top. Your guitar still may have reduced volume at the body, but a flappy neck can take valuable energy away from the box. Beyond the stiffness, the material does have great influence over the acoustic guitar's tone, but stiffness can influence amplitude.

As for the greater converstion in this old thread, yes everything affects everything else. Everything about your race car can be finely tuned to perfection, finest tires in the world, and I can change the feel immediately with my fingernail on your tire valve. A little tiny plastic saddle can offset thousands of dollars in Brazillian Rosewood!
