All the critical filtering is done in the software, and results in a 1.46Hz noise bandwidth - which is what the software measures and reports upon.
 
Your observation that a narrower IF bandwidth is interesting.   Its most likely based on the fact that typical signals are corrupted by pulsed non-gaussian noise which upsets the frequency bin detection process, and upsets sync recovery.

Andy,
 
maybe the "magic" lies in a narrow filter (either IF or audio).
If I switch from a 2.5kHz (SSB) filter to a 270 Hz filter I also get a significant increase in SNR values reported by WSPR.
Unfortunaely it hardly affects the decoding level (minimal SNR needed to get a positive decode), that rises by almost the same amount.

Has F6CNI managed some sort of magic noise reduction system, or is it a just a case of being in a very quiet location...
These are pretty impressive S/N values
