It's past my bedtime, and after spending most of the last 5 days busy as hell with adoption and chorus stuff, I'm exhausted and should go sleep. Need to blather just a little, though

I think it may just boil down to purely introvert vs. extrovert. There are a lot of studies out there that say extroverts actually thrive off that sort of energy and vice versa. An extrovert will actually, say study/work better with a TV on the background, whereas an introvert is more likely to be distracted/annoyed by it. And of course all the other reasons you suggested play a part too, such as why you can tolerate a large group of close friends or a large online party, etc.
I'm not as sensitive to large crowds as you (unless it's a crowd I don't want to be at--loud club I was dragged to vs. geeky convention), but I definitely don't get energized the way extroverts do in crowds, and I always go into extreme hibernation mode post-conventions because I need SO MUCH ME SPACE to recuperate afterward.
