Can you link to the Munich or Amsterdam metro trains? I just see fairly ordinary metro trains for a system with normal-size tunnels. The design is irrelevant to the small tunnels of the Piccadilly Line.
A better comparison is with the Circle/District/etc lines. Those trains are of similar size to the Dutch and German ones, although I think they are designed to carry a lot more people so there are fewer seats:
