Lucifer overpowered and slaughtered the pagan gods. He even over-rided their powers and spells. Dick was TK'ed by Ghost Bobby and Chet was affected by a paralysis spell by a witch. Even the Alpha Vamp can put up a little fight against Edger. Edger killed two mook angels from Cas's old garrison. These angels are low-level grunts taking orders from Hester and Inias - who in turn used to work under Castiel as their captain.

This doesn't prove that Dick and Edger can take on the Archangels. Nor do I think they are older.

The four Archangel brothers have seen God's true image and lived to tell about it. They are like God's prized children. Better relationship and connection to their "father" God correleates to superior powers. With Lucifer being his favorite "son". Death being nearly as old as God, has met him as well, face to face. The 4 archangels and Death the horseman are the only beings in all of Creation to have seen God's true visage and even have a close knit relationship with him.

While the Leviathans come across as God's experimental pets gone haywire and wrong. His embarrassing beta test failures. I don't think Dick and Edger has met God at all.
