I think mainly that I'm making an assumption about the scale of both the
background (mainly the mesa on the left), and the ground-objects.

Also, something about the smoke gives an impression of the scale.

I find it hard to pin it down exactly, but basically my brain keeps telling
me that it's about 80ft high...

You could try rendering it on a featureless plain and re-posting - that
might give an idea as to whether the assumed scale is a product of the
scenery or something intrinsic to the explosion.
