Well, you probably already know that high tyramine levels have been found in some soy sauces and aged tofu. See if you can find the following article:
"Refining the MAOI diet: tyramine content of pizzas and soy products." Shulman KI, Walker SE. J Clin Psychiatry 1999 Mar;60(3):191-3.
I don't know if they looked at the particular foods you mentioned (I've just read the abstract), but their overall recommendation is that you avoid all soy products. One problem is unpredictability across brands (this is seen with cheese as well).
