It basically works like this: The Beyonder at his peak/before the retcon was stated to possess power a million times greater than multiversal scale. As far as I understand, a multiverse is only 5-dimensional according to M-theory. At this time/the mid-80s the Living Tribunal was not played as the infinitely powerful being it would later become, just as an enforcer capable of detonating stars according to the handbooks. It was first through the Beyonder retcon that the entire cosmic hierarchy was massively upgraded, and I think through the Infinity Gauntlet series that the Living Tribunal was stated as the top dog. At its most powerful, the Living Tribunal was here stated to be a 16-dimensional being, 11 degrees of infinity above the Beyonder at his peak. Of course, nowadays the cosmic hierarchy has mostly been downgraded again, and the LT was killed by a mere multiversal collapse, but if we compare the characters in their most powerful incarnations, the Living Tribunal is logically several degrees of infinity more powerful.
