Kun is a Niman master, with obviously high skill in Djem So and he is a powerhouse with Dark Rage.
His Force feats make Maul look like a child in comparison: Freezing lightsabers, offensively transferring essences, is stated by Kyp himself to dwarf Kyp's own power by JA by a massive magnitude. Pulled the Suncrusher out of Yavin Prime right before taking Luke out.
I can go on and on but when Kun as a spirit(I.E not his full strength, as confirmed by Baas) is pulling off top tier force feats, then full body Kun is damn scary.
Kun's ego holds him back but all-out Kun is outright ludicrous.

I don't really see how knowledge or use of Dark Rage directly correlates to skill level. It's a good support base, I guess, but being a master of lightsaber forms alone isn't enough to make you comparable to Darth Maul.
From my understanding Kun hasn't replicated any of these feats with a physical body, and I thought we were using Kun in a physical form, as in TOR era Kun. And this is the first I'm hearing of his physical form being more powerful than his spirit form.

He is the niman poster boy and was beating the likes of Vodo, a master of Form V with centuries of experience. Not to mention stalemated the best Jedi lightsaber duelist in the Jedi Order at the time, Ulic Qel-Droma.
Because he prefers to out-duel his opponents, something he clearly cannot do as a spirit. But yes Baas confirms that Kun will be more powerful in human form, Kun's end-game objective.
Physical form or spirit form does not matter because these are all techniques he knows regardless.

He beat Vodo the first time because he surprised him with his Saberstaff, and stalemating Qel-Droma only serves to prove that Maul is a superior duelist.
Maul, with a leg injury, rapidly began defeating Qui-Gon Jinn within a short period of time during their duel on Tattooine. As far as accolades go Jinn and Baas are roughly as skilled as each other. Maul then goes on to fight him and Kenobi (who at this point wasn't far behind Jinn as a duelist) simultaneously. He was stated as being more than Jinn's equal in terms of skill, from Anakin's perception Maul appeared to be more skilled than the pair of them collectively, and Maul was anticipating their attacks "with ease" according to two depictions of the fight. He's been listed by numerous sources as being one of the most skilled, highly trained and lethal Sith Warriors in the history of the Order. He's a better duelist than Kun, by a tier or so, and Kun is lacking physically on top of that.
So his human form with all of his cool Spirit powers never ended up existing? Meaning we'd need to either use his TOR self or Spirit version? Either one suits me.

He beat Vodo the first time because he used two lightsabers and broke through his wooden staff(stated to be stronger than Kun's own lightsaber blade).
Then defeated Vodo a second time the moment he realized Vodo wasn't joining him.
It is stated in the sourcebooks that Vodo never stood a chance against Kun, regardless of the circumstances.
Ulic Qel-Droma was a master lightsaber duellist with considerable skill, let's not forget that even without the Force, he defeated an enraged Sylvar, a huge dueling feat when you realize what that entails.
Not to mention he got a lot better in the two years after that.
Kun is stated to be one of the greatest Sith Lords ever, not just duelist wise.
He pioneered saberstaff combat and completely hybridized his form into something unique, something very rarely done in the lore.
He had those powers before he became a spirit... as a master sorcerer stated to be more powerful than any Ancient Sith Lord, this is hardly surprising.
Let us not forget that Kun has two mass Force Drain feats and evidently shrugs off Sever Force attacks from even the most powerful Jedi Master of his time.
Only because people are fairly ignorant of Kun's sourcebook statements.

Kun's feats with a blade are superior to Maul's. While it's difficult to compare their dueling opponents across eras, Exar Kun practically invented the double bladed saber, something that nobody in the past several thousand years before him had pulled off. Darth Maul may be a prodigy with the blade, but Exar Kun reinvented the field.
Yes, but I question the relevance of this.
In addition to what has already been provided, KJA described Exar Kun as the most powerful of the sith lords he created; that is, he is more powerful than Ragnos or the others, and can claim their non-unique feats by powerscaling.
I would turn this question around and ask, what has Darth Maul done in the Force exactly that is so impressive?
