I don’t have the Bigby supplement, but both the UA Goliath and the Rune Knight allow you to increase your size to Large and both give you Advantage on Strength checks. Those effects don’t stack: once you’re Large, another effect which also makes you Large doesn’t make you Huge. (Having Enlarge/Reduce cast on you would make you Huge, as it makes you one size larger than your current size.) Nor would you gain some sort of “super-advantage” on your Strength checks.
You might, by using both features, be able to gain the Speed boost from the Goliath feature and the extra damage from the Rune Knight. However, that might take some agreement from your DM. The wording of the Goliath’s feature suggests that the transformation is dependent upon being able to grow to Large and that the other benefits are contingent upon that transformation. It’s not clear whether you’d gain those benefits if you’re already large.
