The distance between the saddle and pedal should stay the same bike-to-bike, so when the stack height increases, the top of the top tube is higher, and the bars are higher relative to the rider.
The Knolly Cache and Kona Rove are couple bikes that come to mind with pretty tall stacks. Honestly, most steel gravel bikes have relaxed geometry since they are designed with comfortable endurance riding in mind. If you're between sizes, you would probably want to size up as well. Most bikes are usually generous with the cable length too from the box, so you can run a 17 degree stem or such to get a bit more handlebar rise.
