Suppossedly the Imperial Star Fleet had about 25000 Star Destroyers, about a dozen Super Star Destroyers, and then millions of other ships ranging from patrol boats, to cruisers.
And it wasn't enough because the Empire took up a whole galaxy, and the Imperial Fleet was stretched pretty thin. that was one of the reason for the Death Star. Instead of mustering a massive fleet to deal with rebels, they would send in a small fleet of support ships and a death star to punatively destroy a planet of two.
Star Fleet wasn't actually that big. In TOS when the Enteprise goes back in time and the Earth pilot compliments Kirk on the Enterprise, he states that there were only a dozen like her.
At the Battle of 359, the Federation could only gather about 39 ships.
In the Dominion War When the Dominion disable the minefield, they indicated that the Dominion fleet was about 1200 ships and the Federation fleet was half that.
I think I also read somewhere that most of the Federation ships were really frigate size to Destroyer size and those numbered in the thousands. But they only had a few dozen of the true cruiser to dreadnought size vessels.
