There are several things: more felsic, more viscous, more volatiles.
The opening of the volcano has no effect, but the shape is a result of the magma.
The amount of volatiles affects the strength. Also the opening of the volcano determines strength. If the opening is blocked off, and the pressure inside builds up, the eruption can be more violent.
