As other people have said, the Balrogs became much more powerful in the post-LotR writtings. Of Tuor and The Fall of Gondolin in the published Sil comes from the 1930 Quenta Noldorian, the last version written of The Fall of Gondolin. Who knows how Tolkien would have treated the Balrogs in that story if he ever got to writting it again.
