Urr is literally the leader/Grandmaster of the Order. You'd need to be the most powerful(and knowledgable, which usually translates to power) in order to be Grandmaster.
And given how, at the time said statement was made, Yoda and Mace were the two main Jedi because they were the most powerful in the Order, my comparison is completely valid, and I don't really care what you'd say. 👆
Like I said above: at the time of the statement, Yoda and Mace were the two big boys because they're superior to any other Jedi of the Order at that time.
Still doesn't detract from the fact that it could have been a symbolic statement, rather than a power one.
And prior to HoT surpassing her, Satele was technically the Yoda of her time.
This, quite frankly, doesn't matter. If Satele can still be seen as the Yoda of her time even after being surpassed by the Hero, that means an "accolade" such as the one Urr sports, doesn't, necessarily, have to refer to power.

Could have. However, though, the quote following that accolade says this:
Taken from: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook
Much of the respect Jedi Masters garner within their respective Orders relates to their strength in the Force.
So, it's more than likely referring to power, and not just being symbolic.
The only Jedi who had any claim to being possibly the most powerful Jedi at the time was Ulic, due to the fact he was the only one who could hold a candle to Kun, who was far stronger than any of the other Jedi of that time according to a source. Sylvar also suggested Ulic was possibly their strongest member. Obviously Kun is also a candidate there.
Being the Grandmaster/right-hand man of the Order doesn't necessitate superiority over everyone else. HoT > Satele? Anakin by RotS?
Like I said, anecdotal fallacies.
And from what I recall, Ulic was called the "greatest" of the Jedi, not neccessarily the most powerful.
And The Jedi Path pretty much confirms to be a Grandmaster, one needs to be the greatest/wisest/most powerful member of the Jedi Order, and with the exception of Qel-Droma, Urr and Baas were the most powerful Jedi within the Order.
Come to think of it... that only strengthens my point, since Baas was doing more than just holding a candle to Exar.
