Of course for gems to drop you have to be killing enemies and some waves feature few but very resilient enemies. These waves yield much less experience than waves with many but weak enemies unless you have a really strong build already.

It's due to a game mechanic.

While you are playing the game, every monster you kill will (has a chance) to drop an experience gem. Once you get to a certain number of XP gems lying on the ground (500 is the number I heard), the game will generate a special Red Gem that all following XP gems will collect in.
So, no more gems will drop and the value of the gems, that would have dropped, get added to that special gem. (Note: The gem will usually spawn in one of the corners of the screen)
When you walk over that particular Red Gem, you gain all of the experience stored in it, in one go. That is why you get an 'explosion' of level ups.

"If there are more than 400 Experience Gems on the ground at a time, no more gems can be dropped and any experience gained is instead accumulated into a single red Experience Gem." -wiki

I believe this is what causes those "explosions", which would be why it didn't happen much when you were stationary, you weren't leaving a bunch of gems behind across the map.

After enough XP gems drop, a red gem will drop which collects all further XP dropped into that single gem. This will usually lead to the XP explosion you speak of, especially if you wait any appreciable length of time to pick up the red gem.
