Or you just get a very powerful filter?

Unfortunately it doesn't work quite like that, simply increasing the power of your filter doesn't do what you think it will. Increasing the volume of the filter and adding a lot more bio-media will help, having a sump filter would be the most effective, but then that's even bigger and more expensive than having the right size tank in the first place!
Filtration is actually quite a complicated subject, have a read on some aquatic sites and you should find some good articles, or read the one in the sticky at the top of this section.
