More likely less power because there is less hydraulic "leverage" with a bigger master cylinder. You have to pull the lever harder to get the same hydraulic pressure at the caliber.

? Now I am unable to follow your thought.
If you have a bigger chamber full of fluid and cram this larger amount of fluid down the same tube as before you will end up with more fluid at the brake calipers with the same amount of lever travel
-> the brakes will lock earlier and feel harder as the range of motion needed on the lever is less than before
-> more braking power for the same amount of movement on the lever
Or did you just mean that because you are moving more fluid you will have to apply more pressure on the lever in order to get the same amount of lever travel? This is true of course. Barely noticeable though.
More noticeable is the shorter range of motion needed for full on braking. The brakes are firmly locked with a 1/2 pull on the lever with the lever in the closest setting (1?). Granted I have quite new pads also.
