It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Some huhs? Not really's, and no's...

teutonic roots

Bruckner: Gothic German
Mahler: Jewish Folk

similar scale of conception and use of orchestral forces

A lot of musicians are required for each composers' symphonies, but that can be said of most composers of their era.

Bruckner calls for standard string, wind and brass parts, and just increases the number. Mahler on the other hand calls for lots of irregularly used instruments, has instruments played in usual ways, and uses a greatly expanded percussion section -- Bruckner never even used a bass drum. Bruckner is a lot closer to Brahms in this area.

heavy emphasis on brass fanfares

So did a lot of people.

dynamic contrast

Ditto.
