It's the number/size of the bubbles (in other words, the total surface area of the bubbles) and the amount of contact they have with the water that matter from a skimming perspective. Modding your skimmer with a more powerful pump would not necessarily make it a better skimmer. There's a reason why skimmers for larger tanks are also physically larger - the volume and shape of the reaction chamber is an important part of what goes in to it's capacity rating.
