Dual-core wands?

As I was reviewing DH Chap. 23, "Malfoy Manor" recently this leapt out
at me:
"As Ron ran to pull Hermione out of the wreckage, Harry took the chance:
He leapt over an armchair and wrested the three wands from Draco's grip,
pointed all of them at Grayback, and yelled, "Stupefy!" The werewolf was
lifted off his feet by the triple spell, flew up to the ceiling and then
smashed to the ground."
The implication of the passage is that casting a spell while holding
three wands triples the spell's power. But then why isn't every wizard
beating a path to Ollivander's to pick up a couple of extra wands and a
tube of superglue?
Or perhaps, since the power of a wand derives from its core, Ollivander
should start making dual-core wands. Imagine (with apologies to Intel)
the all-new Phoenix Core Duo - same slim design, double the casting power.
