personally i'm not disagreeing with you exactly. i definitely believe that ultimately your potential is your gateway size. just can't remember anybody's growing.
If they do grow i think it'd be in increments of gateway opening. Rand made six Deathgates at a time. I theorized that if he was making as many as many as possible, which the circumstances suggest, then his total power must be divisible by seven. Six thresholds. Seven fits in with the old twenty-one levels statement too.
If that's true then every time a channeler passed a gateway strength level threshold their gateway size would increase to the next closest level to their final potential. Say your potential was 43 you would be able to open a 29 gateway as soon as you had the 14 strength necessary to open one. and once you were stronger than 29 you'd be able to open the 43 size your potential suggested.

Rand's later quotes confirm, but also refute this. Also, Egwene throws a wrench in things.....

I agree w/ you. Siuan and Vora's sa'angreal refutes one of the points in the original post *NM*
