Gohan and Krillin both state that Freeza/Cold's ki felt "huge":

ki=power.
Yamcha freaks the hell out when he senses Freeza's ki:

"F-Freeza. H-He has a ki that's THAT unbelievably huge!?" ki=power.
I can post several other examples if need be.
That said, when Gohan stated that SSJ Trunks' ki was the same as Goku's was on Namek, he was referring to the power he sensed:

Otherwise he would have said something like: "It's the same type of ki as father's."
Aside from that, Gohan explicitly stated that Freeza's ki/power was suppressed when he came to earth:

And since it was never shown/stated that Freeza increased his power at all prior to fighting Trunks, then it is perfectly logical to assume that he was still suppressed when Trunks killed him(hence why he did so with such little effort.)
Tbh, Freeza being suppressed makes the most sense when I start thinking about it. I mean, we know he's not going to cruise around at 100% power, because it takes a massive physical toll on his body. So given that there were no threats he was aware of on earth, he'd be much more likely to only use between 3%-50% of his power at any given time(that's the percentage-range he fancied on Namek, at least), and only kick it up beyond that if need be. Either way, the energy-levels Gohan sensed from Freeza on Namek were>>the energy levels he sensed from Freeza on earth. That's how he knew Freeza was suppressing his power.
