Assuming the same output power and efficiency, a larger amp of the same design would have a larger heat sink and stay cooler..... There really isn't a rule of thumb here though because all amps can differ quite a bit.

amps with built-in cooling fans can also be beneficial

what brands have those fans built in? ( reliable) at 2500 watts that is.

If you are that worried about heat just get some computer fans and have them cool off the amps(s)
