energy-wise, i don't think they get more powerful.... but knowledge and technique does accumulate after a few lifetimes.....

as for the first Avatar having no Avatar state, I would think that he was constantly in an Avatar state, energy-wise. If you remember, Avatar Yangchen theorized that the Avatar Spirit is reincarnated as a human time and time again, for it to learn what it is to be human and to be able to empathize and sympathize with humans' suffering and triumphs. If we hold that as true, that would mean the first Avatar had all that power, but no human emotion in his/her Avatar State.

But then again, all this is just conjecture and might possibly be totally wrong...
