Size is not equal to power; just look at Ichigo's Bankai. But Ichigo's bankai makes him very fast and makes his Getsuga Tensho considerably more powerful. Byakuya's bankai is a lot more destructive, has three techniques, there are A LOT of extra blades and maybe another attribute that it's ignored like it's blades are a bit faster. And with that quantity of blades he can overwhelm it's opponents by attacking in all directions or use the blades as a shield and at the same time attack it's enemies.
