When Dooku immerses himself in the force, he is able to, very accurately at time, sense a force-user's power on a metaphysical level:
"Powered by the dark side, Dooku's perception took the measure of those below him with exhilarating precision."...So it seem logical to assume that he could have roughly gauged Palpatine's power as well-- enough to state that he was "beyond power", at least.
Thus when Dooku took note of the power a dark-side-embracing Yoda would have:
"It was Yoda as he might have been, or could yet become: a Yoda gone rotten, a Yoda whose awesome powers had been utterly unleashed by his connection to the dark side. In a flash Dooku saw how foolish he had been, trying to urge the old Master to the dark side. If Yoda ever turned that way, Sidious himself would be annihilated. The universe had yet to comprehend the kind of evil that a Jedi Knight of nearly nine hundred years could wield."
...He likely wasn't hyperbolizing in a self-monologue. Just my opinion.

At any rate, if we take Dooku's claim at face value(as was likely what the thread starter had in mind), then Yoda gets to #8 for sure, and possibly clears(I have no idea what Prime Luke is capable of.)
