To pick a building closer still to OP's, The Pantheon of Rome, the inspiration behind virtually all domed buildings since its creation.
It is true that it is as big as the Romans could possibly make it, and in that sense it too has only size really going for it, but we must thank the Roman's inability to produce anything bigger for if they had, it would have been a worse building.
Compared to Boullee's, the Pantheon of Rome is small, and its details can be appreciated. It's lower part is not too much bigger than any other temple of its day, they are reasonably sized, and the niches which held statues of the gods were easy to see.
You can take it all in. Its details are not reduced to noise
