To perform recursive comparisons with Sunrise you need first to
"flatten the tree":

1.1) press C-c C-n to bring up find by name,
1.2) type in "*" (a single asterisk) and press Return

this will display recursively all the contents of the current
directory, including sub-directories. Alternatively:

1.1) press C-c C-f to bring up find with args,
1.2) type in "-not -type d" and press Return

this will recursively display everything that is *not* a directory
inside the current one. There are many ways to flatten the tree in
order to make the pane contain exactly what you're interested
in. Once that's done you can perform your recursive comparison.
