While I am in the minority here in believing that 2018 was actually very impressive for the Democrats and a strong victory relative to the conditions of the country at the time, the obvious answer here is 1994 was a stronger victory on all scales compared to the 2006 election for the Democrats.
Democrats may have done better in the Senate in 2006 compared to 2018 but the House of Representative gains were not as impressive in hindsight compared to 2018.
While Democrats had more diverse pick ups in rural and suburban seats, they were more Midwestern and Northeastern based. In 2018, Democrats were picking up suburbs everywhere. Now even if we lost many of those gains in the 2020 elections, it is clear that suburbs are the only areas in Trump territory that they can compete it.
