Ah, you are correct there. We have one barrel hooked up through a sprinkler valve to our tank. On the other end of the tank we have a compressor with regulators.

Though I am by no means an expert in pneumatics and the underlying physics, I am fairly certain that a pre-charged 5 gallon tank would prove just as problematic. Keep in mind that 120 PSI means 120 pounds of pressure per square inch. As you have 5 gallons worth of volume, you still have far more total stress on the compressor.

I could be wrong there though, so don't quote me!
