This has been my experiences as well, and I've tried many PJs and BJs since Fender first rolled them out.
The problem with many of the modern small tube amps is that there is simply too much circuitry. This is why most will favor the Champ. I think that the Peavey C20 is the best blend of the old and the new - a couple more modest gain stages, and a low-watt push pull design that still feels a little loose, and not boxy or boingy like the PJ and BJ.
