MAOIs both increase neurotransmitters and change receptor numbers. They do a bunch of other stuff too though, which might be part of why they work when reuptake inhibitors don't, such as working on trace amines, etc. Phenelzine and tranylcypromine both have different active metabolites that are probably psychoactive. Tranylcypromine has a metabolite which is an NRI for example.
