Strange in that a 1¼-wave dipole has 3 dBd gain.

I don't know what a "1/4-wave resonate dipole" is.

Look again, Danny said a 1.25 WL dipole, a non-resonant length
dipole known as an extended-double-Zepp and known to have about
3 dB gain over your 1/2WL resonant dipole. With about a 0.2WL
series section transformer made out of open-wire line, the
non-resonant EDZ resonates as a system and will beat your
resonant 1/2WL dipole in its favored direction.
