The Dvorak era Czech orchestras used small bore valve trombones, which had valve slide triggers on them.
That of course helped agility, but not necessarily projection.
Dvorak might have had a tuba player available at the premiere concert, so that he took the chance to make sure, that these notes could be heard.
