Maybe it was a misquote, but one of the scientists rates the explosive power of a GRB as just below the Big Bang.

Which of course, was not an explosion.
( no wonder we have so many misconceptions )

Pictures of the biggest bang actually we have observed in the universe plus discussion.

Nice....                                                                                                                                            We may witness something similar in 2022

She actually was quoted as saying "just behind" with regard to ranking, which is better...though not by much for reasons you stated.

 

Quote was: "If you ranked all the explosions in the universe based on their power, GRBs would be right behind the Big Bang."

Merging black holes produce one hell of a bang
