I think that the bigger explosion is caused by the exploding reactor, and not the plasma. The smaller explosion is about 2 feet in diameter (assuming that the ship being blown up is 10 feet long). The bolt therefore has a yield of about 0.1 lbs (40 grams) of TNT. [1]

Now I'll do it by destruction. To melt 200g of iron requires about 256000 joules, or 61g of TNT. That's comparable to a Photon torpedo.

Both answers above seem reasonable, but I think the second one is more reliable.
