For Riemann zeta function and $L$-functions of number fields, the width of critical strip is $1$. For $L$-functions of modular forms of weight $k$, the width of the critical strip is $k$.

Why is there a variation in the width of the critical strip for various $L$-functions? Is there a conceptual explanation or an underlying heuristics?
