Hm. Let's suppose the inductor had a loss resistance of, say, 35 ohms
(equal to the resistive part of the antenna input Z). What would the
ratio be then? This is assuming the loss is dissipative and not "loss"
due to radiation.

The output : input ratio of the inductor is very nearly one because the
coil is lossless and its size is insignificant in terms of wavelength.
