Aether is more powerful only due to the volume of it. Think of it like water and fire. A little bit of water will be evaporated by fire, a lot of water will douse the fire. All dynamis could do to the ancients was cause misfiring of their magics, which admittedly can be pretty awful when said magic is "playing god". Modern people, lacking in aether, can be torn apart by it instead. This is why it's double edged that they're sundered. Less aether means crap like that happens once the planet's aether is out of the way by removing Zodiark, but on the other hand it's why there's even a chance to fight back since modern people can make use of dynamis themselves.
