With an average build (assuming no multiclassing, nor hex or curse setup), at level 20 you do 4*(1d10+5) damage (with agonizing blast), which is an average of 48 damage per turn, a minimum of 24 and a max of 60. That's Force damage, the least resisted ever. Repelling blast also helps immensely with crowd control, especially if you are in an area with envirommental hazards. And it's a cantrip. If you want to be an asshole, then multicalss into sorcerer and use quickened spell to cast your eldrich blasts twice (you can do that cause it's a cantrip, p.203 of PHB), which means double damage AND repulsion. Then of course you can setup Hex (which with the uickening of EB is used 8 times) to add 8d6 to the overall damage (average 24 damage, max 48, min 8), bringing the average damage to 72. Then you can even add the Hexblade curse, which at level 20 gives you a whopping 40 straight damage bonus (if EB is quickened), taking the average to 112 force damage.

It is worth noting, with hexblade, hex, and a couple sorcerer levels, (or illusionist's bracers if your DM is foolish enough to give you that), They really aren't many things at your disposal that could deal more damage than casting Eldritch blast. With Hexblade's Curse and the Hex Spell, you can deal 4d10+44 Force + 4d6 Necrotic, So you're looking at an average of 72, with a minimum damage of 52, and potentially way more, because each beam has a separate chance to crit. That can get up to 172 damage if you're insanely lucky. With the potential to do that a second time in one turn if you have the means to do so. I'm not sure the warlock has access to more damaging effects than that.
