Honestly, there are enough loopholes in the series regarding such things as souls, bodies and channeling capacity that I don't take BS seriously in this regard.
Originally BS thought - like you - that it just seems so that Cyndane is weaker, but Maria convinced him that Cyndane's Power really is what it seems: "Maria was able to pull something out that I had not seen that made it clear that I had misinterpreted, and that that is not the case, Cyndane is not under any shenanigans. What you see is what you get."
My Lanfear/Cyndane theory has been disproven.

Actually, I didn't mean to imply that my idea of female strength is related to body size ...

It's NOT due to Stilling or Healing and it's NOT due to Cyndane's weaker body...

I think Moiraine's gaining strength seems a little too LotR.

I think Moraine gaining strength is VERY LotR. That's why I think RJ went with it... *NM*

I think BS's error regarding Cyndane's strength can also be explained by this theory...

Cadsuane is considerably stronger than Moiraine

Also would explain the question of why Moiraine left the angreal on the wagon instead of using it...

Lanfear would have been toast if Moiraine had the angreal, plus foreknowledge of the confrontation..
