Congress does in fact hold ultimate power over the Courts because, if it so choose, it could dissolve all but the Supreme Court thereby insuring that the Court was too swamped with cases to play an active role.

The three branches were set up in a way that allow them to check each others power. Congress does not have ultimate control over that branch. If they would dissolve the rest of the courts, the SC wouldn't necessarially be swamped. They pick and choose what cases to hear. They can deign to just sit back and watch the havoc. It's not like they would be able to make a dent in it anyway.
