You simply underestimated the effect of scale on media. Scaling does 
increase the volume, but leaves the density unaffected, so there's more 
matter to emit / absorb / scatter the light.

Reduce the "emission" value (something like 0.005 should get you 
started), and you should be fine.

But didn't you want to use scattering media anyway?
