Why should connecting small models to big models result in higher output quality than just running the big models without the small models?

A hardware analogy: an amplifier might have an open-loop gain of a hundred million or more, but if you actually try to use it without some negative feedback, it will only give you one of two possible output levels. And/or a whole lot of noise.
