You are right, I was thinking of changing radius, not strength. If you 
render these three blobs you will see what I meant.
blob {
    sphere {< 0, 0.5, 0>, 0.75, strength 1}
    sphere {< 0,-0.5, 0>, 0.75, strength 1}
    threshold 0.25
    texture {
        pigment {color Red}
    }
    translate <-2, 1, 0>
}
blob {
    sphere {< 0, 0.5, 0>, 1, strength 1}
    sphere {< 0,-0.5, 0>, 1, strength 1}
    threshold 0.5
    texture {
        pigment {color Red}
    }
    translate < 0, 1, 0>
}
blob {
    sphere {< 0, 0.5, 0>, 1.5, strength 1}
    sphere {< 0,-0.5, 0>, 1.5, strength 1}
    threshold 0.75
    texture {
        pigment {color Red}
    }
    translate < 2, 1, 0>
}
