Sure it does. Just like a power supply. A half wave power supply take
more filter caps than a full wave. Just like a power supply the more
current you draw the more capacitance needed. Compression has
everything to do with audio caps. The caps need time to recover to be
useful. If the signal is compressed the recovery time is shortened.
