A critical strike may be seen as hitting in a critical location only therefore discounting certain creatures, or a critical hit could mean your best swing of the day generating more force. I think the former is considered more than the later.
Another option is to go ahead and roll the multiple damage dice and keep the highest roll. Example: Gonad the Librarian hit a skeleton with a long sword and scores a critticle hit. Gonad rolls 1d8 twice and keeps the highest roll. It's far from double damage in some cases, but it still reflects the ability to get in a better strike.
Sneak attack is a different ability IMO. I really interpret this as the ability to hit your opponent in a critical location and has nothing to do with getting in a particularly powerful strike. Even so even a +1 per 1d6 would still be more damage while greatly reducing the ability.
