Bootstrapping R2 in my amplifier circuit allows the bootstrap capacitor to pull the base of Q2 to above the power supply voltage so the output swing and power is higher. It also increases the impedasnce of R2 so that the closed-loop gain is higher which allows more negative feedback and less distortion.
A transistor plus two resistors can replace the two diodes in my amplifier circuit.
It is called a VBE Multiplier and it has the same negative temperature coefficient of diodes and its voltage drop is adjusted with the resistor values.
I copied this one from the datasheet of a 741 opamp:
