Thinking of what the two hosts did, I can't agree that Gondolins host had greater strengh.
The host of Gondolin was only build of the people one city and it was nihilated in more or less a day.
The host of the last alliance assembled for 4 years. They fought a war against a realm of a dark lord not only tried to protect their own city. After a terible battle with graet loses they managed a siege of 7 years. For that war they needed lines of supply for their wariors. So the host was even graeter then the fighting people.

So in my view there can't be any doubt, that the last alliance had the graeter and mightier host than the single city of Gondolin.
