I'm not aware of any setting to change this behavior, nor do I think this would make any sense. By default DRS powers on a VM on the host where it is currently registered. Another host is only chosen if powering on the VM would cause an imbalance or violate DRS rules. Forcing the VM to power on on such a host would result in DRS kicking in anyway and either migrate workloads or generate recommendations.
