So it's looking across the entire volume based on a wide range of file extensions then?
Whereas ccleaner looks for a narrower (I presume) more targeted range of files in predefined locations, both generic and application-based.
I can understand why this would return more files than ccleaner - it's a far more broad brush approach. There are advantages and disadvantages with both approaches.

Glarys has a higher chance of false positives than ccleaner.
While it may find more invalid entries it may also incorrectly identify valid entries.
Where as the above users have said, CCleaner takes a safer approach, with few false positives reported on the forums.
