Think about it this way: A huge boulder on a mountain peak has more gravitational potential energy than a pebble on your roof.
Just imagine dropping an elephant from a skyscraper versus a feather. The elephant wins every time in potential energy.
Let's not complicate things: big object, high place = lots of gravitational potential energy!
It's simple math! The heavier the object and the higher it's positioned, the more gravitational potential energy it has.
