The main thing that determines the power of a motor for practical purposes is how much power it can handle w/o overheating. Bigger motors tend to heat up less because they have more room to spread the heat and they have lower resistance. But also, lower kv motors heat up less because it's more efficient to use higher voltage and less amps.
