The Minoan eruption (Santorini) in 1600 BC had an estimated VEI of 7.
The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora with a VEI of 7 and was the same.
The largest known eruption was Mount Toba in 72,000 BC, which killed off most humans alive at the time, had a estimated VEI of 8, which is categorized as a super volcanic eruption. Yellowstone also had a VEI of 8.
VEI = Volcanic Explosivity Index is a logarithmic scale with each increment being 10 time the previous, However, in terms of energy released each increment is 1000 times the previous, with a VEI of 10 releasing enough energy to split the planet in half.
