Scope the various output pins of the TL074, it sounds like a gain difference between the main path and the sidechain path... either on the op-amp stage following the VCA, or the two op-amp stages which are the second rectifier... perhaps a resistor is out of tolerance or something along those lines?
Alternately it might be a threshold difference between the two sides...? check to see if the threshold is the same in terms of level, and if it's just operating at a lower ratio above the same threshold, or if the ratio is the same, but the onset happens at a different level on the two sides.
