More formal way of saying "taking almost all"

Question

I am trying to revise the following statement:

A takes almost all the rewards which are usually given to clients contributing important attributes.

The takes almost all seems not very formal and concise to me. Is there any other verb that can be properly used here?

A [verb] rewards which are usually given to clients contributing important attributes.

Thank you!

This statement is probably meant to compliment A, to show that A ticks almost all the boxes. I think "almost all" can sound alright with a good verb. I would say:

A reaps almost all the rewards which are usually given to clients contributing important attributes.

I also like earn, and if you want to replace almost all at all costs, you could say

A  earns most of the rewards which are usually given to clients contributing important attributes.

A takes the lion's share.

In English the phrase used in the sense of nearly all only appeared at the end of
the 18th century;[2]
