These kind of kicks sound powerful no matter what your listening on, club, car, phone, laptop.
it's a lot about perception, the first track in particular the reverb gives the impression of immense size.
Personally I'm finding rolling off the sub (not getting rid of it though) and setting the level so it's not the loudest element but a supporting element. Then supplementing that kick with a sub with a sine wave, not pitch swept or lightly pitch swept, at a louder level to give the weight behind it. You'll need to play around with the sine envelope and perhaps the phase so it plays with the main kick
On the first track you hear the kick on it's own around 1.57, and you'll notice it doesn't have much sub and it isn't particularly loud in the mix, but frequency wise it's quite broad band. but in the main portion of the track there is a sub element.

Hi man,
We are from a samplepack label, and we created an underground (tech/techno mainly) samplepack, which has over +350 files in total, drum kicks, massive & spire presets, and analog record synth shots from Pro Sequential One, Moog Mini/Rogue just to name a few. Hope you find what you need in here, and give us a shout if you like it.
Here's the pack: https://soundcloud.com/theaudiobar/underground-2k17
