It isn't so much the "size" of the transformer as much as it is the maximum operating voltage of the transformer.
In general, for up to about 24VAC, the 1.5KE36Ca is a good universal catch all solution.
Some operators get very pedantic and because their power supplies only push 18VAC maximum, they decide to go with the 1.5KE33Ca even though a 1.5KE36Ca would be perfectly acceptable for 18VAC as well.
