Adult male height mean is 70 inches. Standard deviation is 3 inches. A 20% increase is 4.67 standard deviations above the mean, which is sensibly describable as a vast improvement in terms of human height. But your statement about "vast" for height is only true because of the particular distribution. It doesn't generalize.

We can, at best, debate whether the distribution of power generation is similar to the distribution of height to get any usefulness of out of this.
