1. His own power
2. Sith Sorcery
3. The entire race and life force of the Massassi
4. The Dark Side of Yavin 4 focused and amplified to him
So basically, for the 10 or so seconds he had the excess power, he was massively amped when he specifically used this power to create the spirit. So my question is, would this, or would this not be considered an amped spirit outside the normal power of Exar Kun?
We are merely spirits trapped in bodies. We don't create spirits.
Also, Kun's initial attempt was to amass huge energies of life-force to shed his physical form(escape from the Jedi) and survive as spirit throughout space. However, the Jedi bound his spirit to the Massassi temples. Kun used those life-energies to subsist as Force ghost within the temples for 4000 years. When Luke and his friends came, Kun's life-energy supplies that he stole from the Massassi were already gone.
Simply put: Kun needed those Massassi's life energies to subsist and resist the pull of the Void.

The Massassi he drained provided the energy for the ritual which he spent on becoming one with the Force artificially. Kun preserved his spirit by anchoring it to the temple. Besides that, Veitch confirmed Kun was at his most powerful when alive.

Again, you are wrong. Kun never intended to anchor his soul by the temple. He was planning to escape Yavin 4 as spirit, but the Jedi bound his soul by the Massassi Temples. Gnost confirms it.

The source merely states he subsisted by drawing energy from the temples.
No contradiction to what Gnost said.
Besides I find it stupid that you believe it. Because Kun's goal was to avoid the Jedi. Trapping himself in a temple isn't a feasible method. Explains why he had no control over the binding and went to rest. He was forcefully put to rest by the Jedi's Wall of Light. The Force energy-drain depicted in this source shows us that Kun also drained the Temples besides the Massassi to subsist as spirit. It isn't a statement post-Tales Of The Jedi, but during-Tales Of The Jedi.

Considering he also claimed Kun > Darth Sidious, which goes against every quote listed here (and unlike Veitch's opinions, said quotes were actually published by Lucasfilm):
So Lucas' statements get insta-praise, but Tom's statements don't?
Why accept one's and disapprove the other's?

Because Veitch's opinion that Kun > Sidious contradicts what has been published (the multiple statements that Sidious was the most powerful Sith who ever lived by RotS).

With the exception being that anything within the Extended Universe timeline of the movies is submissive to Lucas' canon. Even then, these statements only stretch to Darth Bane's times according to Lucas' vision.
If you really want to incorporate Lucas' vision of Star Wars in the whole timeline of the Extended Universe, then you need to take in account that his "visionary" statements only stretch as long as 1000 years pre-Lucas' canon.
