we do not know that Q is on the level of TOAA, he may just be as powerful as myx or any 5th dimensional imp. (which is still impressive)
he may appear more powerful than myx because hes also very intellegent and manipulative, but picard has bested him before. and if picard can best him, so can galactus
Picard has never really bested Q. Q has only played games with him. Teasing him in a way. Could Picard really beat a being who could just snap his fingers and blink the universe out. I think it is safe to say the Q are equal to TOAA becuase Roddenberry once said they were meant as the gods of the Star Trek universe. Since Roddenberry is the creator of Star Trek I will trust him.
This might help a bit.

I think the comparison to the 5th dimensional Imp is better. The Q race are probably a set of higher dimensional beings with access to tech far beyond our comprehension. If one had the ability to manipulate higher D's and then mastery over tech such as quantum entanglement, and Nano bots one would also have the power of the Q.
