multiples notes in dsp and in reality ?

A little maybe stupid question
I press 32 notes at the same time with a real piano.
The sound is louder than one, but not so much.
Now i play it with a naive dsp synth.
Well, it will clip so the sound is not so much louder if i play at a volume close to the limit.
But i feel like the raise in volume is bigger than with a real instrument.
Is it true ?
if yes, why ?
Is it because in a real piano every note come from different sources ?
Or the resonance inside it ?
Or a natural overdrive or compression of the sound in real world ?
Thanks for any response !)
Here's a little test that send 32 midi note in once.
