I'd prefer megadamage to the squish. Keep gear power increasing exponentially but maybe visualizing it in a logarithmic scale. So a +1 in str would be a 10 times increase in power within the current system. Within the logarithmic scale a small numerical difference would result is significant power increases.
Now all that needs to be tuned is the base of the scale 10 might be a bit to high.

On another note: adding a 32bit integer to another 32bit integer is equaly complex to a computer system if the integer is 0, or 111111234 within the decimal system, it simply does not matter at all.
