I'd argue that companions leaving was always a big deal in a sense but it was just exacuted with a lot more subtelty and depth than they are in the new series. There were a lot of companions in the old series where it was just a case of "Meh, tired of this, found something new, bye bye!" - Vicki, Leela, Romana, Mel etc.

But then you had characters that did have actual tear-jerker endings; the big ones being Susan, Jamie & Zoe, Jo Grant, Sarah Jane, Adric, Tegan and I'll admit even Mel's got me a little choked up but that's mostly because of Seven's whole "Think of me" speech.

These weren't overblown with music too loud to hear the dialogue over or bombastic events. It was just close friends having to say goodbye which is heartbreaking enough without having to make it as OMG!TRAGIC as possible.

I agree, and this is what drives me up the wall, that they've gotten away from that.
