The world already saw the most powerful nuclear weapon when the USSR detonated the Tsar Bomba, a 50 megaton nuclear bomb, affectionately named "Tsar" (King) not because it was a huge bomb, but because it is too large to be of any tactical value, basically a ceremonial bomb to show off power, like the Tsar bell in Moscow (if I remember right, that's where it is), it is too large to ring, so it just sits on a pedistal.
The Tsar Bomba is actually a scaled down version of the Tsar Bomb (no a), which is a 100 megaton bomb.
However nuclear weapons won't get more powerful, nobody really needs that, instead they will get more *accurate*. Instead of simply relying on a large blast to destroy things, a smaller, more accurate missile can wipe out the target at less risk than the large bomb. The goal is to knock out the enemy's weapon facilities rather than damage large areas.
There are VERY few nuclear weapons above the 100kt mark despite the ability to create larger weapons. Most are 20kts.
