I wanted to amplify the effect of specifying the font size. So I tried:
{\tiny\tiny Super tiny text!}
But that doesn't seem to work. I needed suggestions to achieve the same goal.

Are you looking to change some definition in your preamble? If you just need it for a specific set of paragraphs, you can just use \small or a similar command like David suggests (with or without {}).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\begin{document}
\scriptsize This is text in script size.
\tiny This is a different paragraph in {\small tiny size}, with a different sized section in the middle.
\section{First Section}
\sectionfont{\small}
\section{Second Section}
\end{document}
For what the actual sizes are, have a look at this good answer here. I believe a section header is normally \Large, a subsection is normally \large, and a subsubsection is normally \normalsize so that might give you some perspective. A command like \sectionfont{\large} or \subsectionfont{\normalsize} should change the size of all the applicable headers after it.
