Your analogy ran out of steam on the first post because it conveniently does not include noise - which, as you well know, is the other part of the dynamic range measure. ...

True, but I was trying to keep it simple.
That said, you could make a further analogy but making our cup nice and clean while our bucket is a little grubby....
Larger pixel sensors, eg 14u-20u do however have massive dynamic ranges compared to 4um-5um offerings. ..90 db or more.
I think there there is a visible hallmark to tiny well sizes (small pixels): as many of the images taken by these devices show nearly all stars as saturated to white as it is tricky to keep those tiny wells from overflowing.
