The size of volcanoes increase as more magma comes up form the mantle. Some magma comes to the surface forming layers of ash and lava, (layers=strata that is why this kind of volcanoes are called Stratovolcanoes). some lava often will not come up to the surface but will still make the volcano larger. Lava that have not reached the surface will cool down slower allowing larger crystals to form.
