What word is in this beer stein?
I am tempted to suggest Phallical or Phallicness. Please don’t miss the words! I can not justify it by means of actual usage, or even a direct dictionary entry but it appears to be the most valid option under the rules of morphological derivation. In the context of linguistics, the Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia defines morphology as:
The science of structure, or of forms, in language. It is that division of the study of language which deals with the origin and function of inflections and derivational forms, (or) of the more Formal as distinguished from the more material part of speech.
Dictionaries tend not to list every valid derivation, in part because they’re too numerous and so in part because the definition should be axiomatic, based upon the root word and maybe the surrounding context of the word.
And this is not my objective, so if I do read dictionaries or the term “do not” then I won’t be able to proffer the best explanation. It is for these reasons that most people like to create a list of relevant words near the entry for the applicable affix in a simple matter. What do some of the words begin with ”/”; ”? or ‘’’? Sometimes it is possible to combine affixes to achieve a certain result, such as in the word convincingly (which is simply the word convince with the -ing and -ly affixes tacked onto it as you can see in the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language A.M.D.E.). (H.D.E.L.), 5th edition. The 1913 Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (W.I.R. ). R.U.D. (Rag) notes that the -ness suffix can be used to form abstract abstract nouns from adjectives through exemplification of the adjective good. A.K.D.E.L. notes that the -ness suffix indicates state, quality, condition or degree.
I personally prefer the Phallicness spelling to the Phallicalness one mostly because a search on onelook’s reverse dictionary search engine reveals almost three times as many icalness words than there are words which go directly from ic to ness 1. with the exact numbers being 80 compared to 25. While icalness is more complex than icness, suggesting that -icalness is the grammatically sounder derivation. Furthermore, I like the -ness suffix specifically because it specifically notes degree as you requested, unlike the -ity suffix, which is also in A.H.D.E.L. but only as noting state or quality.
Is there a way to know what exactly these types of options actually see when used? I have a search for phallicity and phallicity which barely see anything using comparison root word phallic in google ngrams. The only ones that receive Google ngram results are phallicity and phallicness which barely see any usage at all in comparison root word phallic on Google Ngrams. Between the derivations noting state 2, phallicity is the first, with a brief period of usage at the end of the 1920s and a resurgence in the 1950s. How Can Phallicness Be Common? Merely: When was the only time they were more popular than phallicity? Nonetheless, between the forms that were actually used in print, I prefer phallicness in this case, since you specify a need to possibly signify degree which is the domain of the -ness sufix.

of ‘phallicity’, as revealed by examining the Google Books search results in three domains: psychoanalysis, literary criticism, and feminism. Its history in use ranges from sometime before 1957, in psychoanalysis,
This passivity she is forced to oppose because it is the anal-sadistic equivalent to what in phallicity is the quality “castrated”.

Most uses are in texts pertaining to or derived from psychology.
I believe in a nonce word such as “phallicity” or “phallicitude” in this situation.
Sadly the nearest plausible alternative actually in use, ” phallicism “, already serves to refer to the worship of the phallus (as a symbol of its generative purpose in nature).
Would probably stretch to fit this usage.

A custom “ultimate hot-rod” was actually called the Priapism. An art
critic for the Observer talks about the “modest priapism and slight swagger” of an installation featuring candlesticks set on high stools to depict revolutionary leaders. This last example is particularly useful, as it hints at the term’s utility for expressing the degree to which an object is phallic.
So for the OP’s example, one could say
This beer stein’s priapism (that’s over the top), is over the top.
The phrase also used figuratively to mean something like aggressive-masculinity or aggressive excitement, as in this JSTOR Daily article (“capitalist priapism”) or this history book (France’s “political priapism”).
