AMP vs Saturation and Distortion. What's the basic diffence?

AMP distorts the sound in a way that you can't reach with Saturation, Distortion and even Clipper.
Theoretically it distorts, ok. But why is the sound so unique and different after processing it with AMP?
Big example is a kick. You can dial your distortion as long as you want, you still can't get the same sound as with the AMP (me personally, I might be wrong). Is there any secret or specific process I don't understand?
Thanx.

I believe it is basically that the AMP has an eq after it to simulate the speaker cabinet of a guitar amp.
