Average partner incomes in the major management consultancy firms are high compared with the average incomes of senior people in some (but not all) other occupations. This appears to be explained in part by the high level of expertise that is needed to perform these roles, and also the high impact of their work on their clients' organisations. Nevertheless, other occupations with comparable requirements for expertise, and comparable impact, appear to attract somewhat lower average incomes, and I have not been able to identify any research that discusses the reasons for this relativity. Are you aware of any research publications please that have discussed this issue?
Actually, I have no idea about if there are research articles discuss this or not, but if you googled, you will find alot of global reports produced by alot of famous organizations analyzing management consulting services worldwide, the current state of the consulting services, the changing consulting landscape, market share, ...etc.
Generally speaking, the average partners' incomes in management consultancy firms are higher than the average seniors' incomes in other relevant occupations due to the expertise of these partners. However, the average partner's income varies from firm to another, like in any other occupations, depending on the volumes of work and revenues generated during the respective year.
This is noticeable in major audit firms where most of the revenues come from nonaudit services, mainly consultancies, rather than from audit services.

I concur with Prof-Dr-Ahmed Al-Baidhani أ. د. احمد البيضاني . They vary from one to the next. You may want to consult Vault and Glassdoor for granular information, but some are based on tenure and performance. The measures of performance is normally deal pipeline, conversion, annual revenue per partner and profitability of those revenues. You have to meet a certain revenue threshold to be and remain a partner.
