The $\Lambda$-distribution of a compact matrix group is an invariant in algebraic probability theory that was recently introduced to study zero distributions of function field $L$-functions. It is encoded by the $\sigma$-moment generating function, a generalization of the Molien series of classical invariant theory. In this work, we compute the $\sigma$-moment generating functions of finite matrix groups in many new cases. In particular, we compute the asymptotic $\Lambda$-distributions for the infinite families of Weyl reflection groups of types $B_n/C_n$ and $D_n$, complementing the previously known case of reflection groups of type $A_n$, i.e., symmetric groups. We also establish a general result relating the shapes of $\sigma$-moment generating functions to the distributions of associated classical random variables, explaining a previous ad hoc observation for independent Gaussians arising from traces of powers on compact classical groups.
