Here is one interesting quote by Vishvanath Cakravarti Thakura.

 

When Lord Krsna was of a very tender age, His hands and legs resembled soft

new leaves, yet simply by touching the handcart with His legs, He made the cart

fall to pieces. It was quite possible for Him to act in this way and yet not

exert Himself very much. The Lord in His Vamana avatara had to extend His foot

to the greatest height to penetrate the covering of the universe, and when the

Lord killed the gigantic demon Hiranyakasipu, He had to assume the special

bodily feature of Nrsimhadeva. But in His Krsna avatara, the Lord did not need

to exert such energy. Therefore, krsnas tu bhagavan svayam: Krsna is the

Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. In other incarnations, the Lord had to

exert some energy according to the time and circumstances, but in this form He

exhibited unlimited potency.
