smilingator now:

"Wreckage" may not necessarily mean that it was crushed into pieces so
small that Montague couldn't have been pushed in it. Like after a car
accident, there is wreckage, but that could range from a car being
totally destroyed to just the back bumper falling off.

It says that Filch's office is indeeed on the "ground floor" and from
the site, I suppose that this means the ground floor is right above
the dungeons but right below the first floor. So, the cabinet could be
dropped over Filch's office from the first floor. Glad you asked that
question though because now I've found another web site that contains
information about Hogwarts!
