They have no problem doing this with !!! procs. I don't see why it should be a problem for Thief.
Have you not done seal farming with and without a THF? The effect of TH is very noticeable. Grellow with TH you get 3-4 (+1 timed NMs) with an occasional 2; Grellow without TH nets you 1-2, with an occasional 3 and very rare 0.

What you are asking for is for TH to turn on staggers, with +70% increases to the treasure pool.

I wouldn't be surprised if TH multiplies the chance for an idea to drop, so if TH7 gives a +10% increase to drops, something like seals who drop 90% of the time with Grellow, go up to 99% drop. However, something that has a terrible drop rate, like Kings pop items, say 10% drop rate would only go up to 11% total drop chance - not as big of an impact.

It goes without saying those numbers are ones I pulled from my bum to illustrate my point.

It would be nice, though, if the Tanakan powers that be would tell us exactly how it works, but I expect we will never get such a mechanical question answered.
