Well I open it to both theories that he could have and could not have been stronger than all the Archangels. Beside Godstiel only stated that he would done away with Hell completely but needed a threat to hold over his enemies.(To whom his enemies are is unknown.) And needed to keep Michael and Lucifer's cage. Also Dean stated to Sam when Sam thought that Balthazar's stolen Heavenly weapon that there was maybe something that could hurt him. But according to Dean there was no thing but someone aka Death that could have killed him. Now that is more opinion of the story than confirmed facts stated in the story.
