Multiple Zentradi cruisers (Season 1, EP02) can only achieve multiple 911 style building destruction. Zentradi's starship count (which is measured in the millions) makes them dangerous.
The Macross cannon is not much more powerful, really. Vritwhai was surprised, but not particularly impressed by the initial firing of the Macross Cannon. He was more interested in the ARMD reaction weaponry and miclone ability to restore the wrecked vessel. Compare that to the ridiculously overpowered Gorg Bodolle Zer fortress gun, which can vaporise entire fleets with a clean shot lined up. The ASS-1 was classed as a simple gunship for a good reason.

In S1 EP19, rogue Zentradi task force was surprised with a starship (SDF1) equiped with a "bubble shield".
That's because the omnidirectional barrier was a human-exclusive technology, discovered by accident, and unheard of by the Zentradi.
