You only get one attack but you can always add damage to it.  If you want to go Bugbear Paladin, try Shield Mastery feat and ask your DM to let Powerful Build apply to that feat, so you can be considered large and then shove Huge creatures around.  I certainly would allow my players to do that, it seems reasonable.  You will be using it all the time and will be getting advantage plenty, giving yourself a better chance to land that doubled smite.</blockquote>
