Wizard strength level
exartiem:
I can describe it in painting terms. Harry is drawing from a 5 gallon bucket, but right now he only has a 24" roller to apply it with. Whereas Molly is only drawing from a 1/2 quart can, but she is using an airbrush. Harry is great at painting a house, Molly can do a portrait.
Ebenezer has the 5 gallon bucket and a variety of brushes and rollers.

Sir Huron Stone:
I'm pretty sure there's an absolute upper limit for how much energy a human can handle. Not his tank, or his skill, but how much they can handle flowing through them at once. I'm looking at it like a lightbulb. It can channel energy pretty well, but eventually that filament just pops. I have a feeling at some point we're going to get a look at a Wizard or Warlock who goes too far, tries to channel/hold/manipulate too much energy and either catches fire, their head explodes, or just winks out of existence. We saw before at Chichen Itza where Harry pulled in the energy from the Ley line to power the Earth spell, and felt pressure in his head, and I think he felt overheated, although I can't be sure as I don't have my copy of Changes on hand. Shouldn't have stored my books with the Army. Gonna take forever to get them back.

My guess is that when a Wizard reaches the threshold you mention that it's around the time they become more... Probably via Mantle which allows them to channel even more. Most likely because anyone who reaches this limit is not likely to reach it, and be happy with it. They will reach further.
