So, my brother has been practicing some "double palm" technique and he almost caught me with it in our spar today. I could tell that if it connected, I'd be hurtin' bad. Why does that technique draw so much power?

It's really just a double palm strike after he parries my right punch. It has a lot of force behind it, more so than other techniques.

did he do the one where he aims two pals at your chest, or the "butterfly palm"?
I'm no expert so my guess would just be the traingular stucture of no the strike for aimed at chest, or for butterfly, the fact you'd get hit twice at the same time

if it looks like a hadouken or kahemehameha it's pretty strong & I learned it as the dragon palm and it's meant for when someone is exposed and you want a for sure finish like if their back is turned you hit the spine high & low or the spine & back of the head.
It probably has tons of other applications too but that's the one I learned.
It's like how you push something big & heavy like a fridge but doing it really fast turning it from a pushing to crashing which is a strike.

Yeah, he hits them both at the same time.. It actually connected today and he sent me back pretty far, and I'm about 100 lbs bigger than him lol.

OK, after getting a bit better description on the technique. I understand which one you are actually talking about.
The strength in the technique is the same as the strength in any technique. It's the linking of the compression/expansion, expanding/contracting, and the rotational forces within each segment of the body that creates the most optimal output transmitted into another body.
NOTE: The palms should not land at the same time...
