The Soviet army as we know it, continued to grow over the course of WW2. And stabilized at 6.5m despite a lot of losses. The amount of reservists the USSR had would help significantly.

The USSR also had an extensive mobilization system. Germany invaded the Soviets with 3.5 million soldiers, and 3 million Soviet soldiers would already be lost by the end of 1941, however by 1942 the USSR already had 5.3 million men in the army while Germany had 3.7m.

Furthermore,

Soviet soldiers could go into combat relatively quickly after retraining, while Germans would need months of training.

The German Reich already had a 1:3 population difference with the Soviet Union (70m:195m).
