what do you consider a high snare wire count? I never considered this when getting sound out of my snare

I'd say that anything over 24 (i.e., Puresound 30-strand, or Gibraltar 42-strand) would qualify. Also, some brands (Fat Cat, Noble & Cooley) seem (IMHO) to give a fatter snare sound, even though they don't have more than 24-strands.
BTW, you might find this interesting:
www.malletjazz.com/snares/snarewires
...I put together a page where I offer sound file comparisons of different makes and models of snare wires, using the same snare drum as a reference point. It won't tell you how wires will sound on your drum (unless, of course, your drum is the same as the one I used, a 6x14 Tempus fibreglass with single-ply coated heads...), but you can compare one brand to another, to hear which ones may be brighter/darker, fatter/thinner-sounding, etc.

Connecticut (USA). I picked up the phrase on a Usenet group for recording engineers. It's borrowed from car commercials: "In our tests, the Pontiac Gazoo got 30 miles per gallon on the highway, 18 mpg in the city. Your mileage may vary."
