It was just a crude way of stating the seemingly obvious (but not) concept that the "biggest drums possible" is not necessarily always a desirable outcome.
On that Dungen record for example... If that was a pro job, likely it would be perfectly balanced throughout and it would be complete C 'n B. Their previous record was in fact, like that.
The moments on it where the guitar solos completely obliterate the entire rhythm section are awesome. The mix is a little overly enthusiastic in spots. Some whiny drummer in the back of the room constantly demanding more drums would have killed the vibe.
