Why is Plagueis at #3?
Because he's just that good.
He's strong enough to punch through the armored torsos of Maladians, and his kick sent a Zabrak flying clear across a cabin, snapping his spine, and bursting his arteries.
He's fast enough that 11-4D couldn't detect his movements, and 11-4D was a high-end droid designed to track and record blaster bolts. He also noted that during his battle with Venamis, all an onlooker would see is two streaks of red lightning flashing through the forest.
His telekinesis is strong enough that his waves carry enough force to rip apart targets on a molecular level, blowing a squad of Maladians into invisibly small pieces with powerful shoves. (Investigators believed that the Maladians were killed by heavy explosives after the fact.) He also casually ragdolled Darth Sidious while the latter was still an apprentice.
As for other applications of the Force, his Force Lightning was powerful enough to turn it's target's bones into dust, and his FLS was of great enough magnitude to light up an entire landscape. He can also increase his own power for short periods by activating his own Midichlorians to their fullest potential, or by increasing the count held in his body.
He's not lacking in skill, either. Darth Tenebrous references Plagueis as a master duelist despite his distaste for the arts, and let's not forget that Darth Venamis--whom not only was Plagueis was able to defeat before his peak, but also was one of the most unpredictable fighters I can recall--was himself a master duelist of great enough calibre to switch and mix lightsaber styles and techniques while in the midst of combat. Despite having been trained specifically to counter Plagueis's style of combat, he was still bested.
Not only are his combat abilities magnificent, but he's also one of the hardest opponents to kill. His skin's force-enhanced toughness alone was compared to stone, the claws and teeth of two Kaleesh unable to even penetrate his skin, and with Midichlorian Manipulation he was granted similar abilities to Dark Transfer in the sense that he can bring beings back from the brink of death and efficiently heal even dangerous injuries. If all else fails, he also can perform cardioversions through the Force on any of his 3 hearts, and thus can control his own blood output and extend his life to continue battle despite having grievous wounds.
Plagueis would also supposedly have bested Darth Sidious had he challenged him to combat in TPM rather than murdering him underhandedly, and that speaks for itself. He's just top tier, I would agree with Carthage's placement of him--He's probably #3, or possibly even #2.

So, what puts Plagueis at #3, Qel-Droma on the list, and who is Darth Wickett?
Darth Wickett was the Dark lord of the Sith who defeated his master Darth Reave who was the reigning Dark lord 300 years after Krayt's One Sith.
Krayt banished Darth Reave to Korriban and sealed him away in a cellar because he feared his power.

Uh no? He is one of the most powerful Sith of all time. He's taken down a Republic cruiser with one flick of his hand, moved fast enough to create blurs of afterimages of blurs, defeated Darth Wyyrlok, Darth Nihl, Darth Talon, and Shado Vao with one lightsaber and a broken pancreas, and drained Ambria of the darkside spirits to use against the Vong.
"Darth Reave is certainly the most fearsome among our ranks, even I must take care not to fight him in open combat"-Darth Krayt
Darth Reave strode into Xoxaan's temple the air simmering with currents of the darkside, as the pillars shook and Krayt in his stasis awoken to find himself face to face with his dreaded potential successor. Before Krayt could arise- Reave summoned the power of the darkside and spun his lightsabers in such rapid succession Krayt went blind and passed out-Legacy issue 1444
Darth Wyyrlok's knowledge of Sith lore was extensive, and he had memorized the scrolls, holocrons, and tales of Sith history- but his knowledge was second only to his superior Darth Reave
Abeloth had shrugged off Luke and Krayt, and hurled them aside like Gungan sheepdolls. Her eyes fixed on the monolith of immense darkside power before her, she launched her tentacles at him only to have them shot at his sides. His yellow eyes pierced her, and before she could react he had already slashed her 50 times and hurled her backward with a surge of dark side power
"Krayt, Nihl, and Wyyrlok had heard of the tales of Reave's exploits in the outer rim. How he consulted the holocron of Darth Baras and furthered his understanding of the dark side, and how he was able to sap the trapped spirits of Bane's thought bomb and use them to destroy entire worlds." Krayt's Legend pg. 553
Darth Reave had spent his entire existence waiting to strike again, momentary fissures in the force such as the death of Darth Plagueis and the destruction of the Galactic Empire did not wake him from his slumber" Krayt's Legend pg. 444
He's a beastly Sith, and he's horribly misunderstood
He was the best in One sith, the only reason he didn't LOLSTOMP Krayt was because of Krayt's periods of inactivity and the fact Krayt and Wyyrlok used an ancient sith spell to seal him in Naga sadow's cellar. He eventually was slain in combat with the combined power of One Sith, FOTJ Luke, Jacen Solo, and the spirits of Old Ben, Yoda, and Anakin Skywalker.
