It does take some time to build up to bulerías. Javier Molina said in an interview in the 1950s that, of all the toques, he thought that sevillanas was the easiest and bulerías the hardest. Obviously, he said that long before Paco came along and complicated things for all of us!!!
If you remember back to when you felt that you still couldn't play soleá or whatever, I'll bet that the difference is not that you now know more falsetas, but that you can maintain a simple rhythm pattern in a few different ways, using slight variations to keep things fresh. The problem with bulerías is that those little details go by in a flash, because of the tempo, and you have to learn twice as many to get the same results.
I'd say that, if your hands normally get too tired after just a minute or so, you've still got work to do in developing your hand strength. That will come with time. If that's not a problem, and your falsetas aren't too difficult (as Ramzi pointed out), maybe you need to spend a few months working on rasgueados. Again, if you do rasgueados a few different ways, that helps to keep things fresh.
It also helps to identify the different classic parts of a bulería that make it a bulería, and make sure that you have a few ways to handle each of those "categories." Hope you know what I'm trying to say.
And one more thing: Not all falsetas fit the same aire. You can make little changes in the aire in order to make certain falsetas fit better, but, because of the tempo, some falsetas are incompatible.
