However, the amount of energy displayed by that blast front exceeds my guesstimate of what conventional explosives can attain.

Then you should do a little more research. Getting a huge explosion is just a matter of getting a huge amount of explosive material together. There have been far larger conventional explosions than this.

Sorry, I can't argue at your level.

Far larger indeed, There was a massive on in the US many, many decades ago.
