The "single head, more power" approach doesn't work, as it introduces motion blur. Most flashes control the amount of light output by controlling the amount of time the flash discharge is allowed to happen. The longer the discharge, the more light you get out of it, but also the longer the subject is illuminated for. Hence the motion blur.

Perhaps more power from one flash through a diffuser panel would work better? looks like a slight double exposure due to timing differences between the two flashes.
