Might want to go from strongest to weakest.
Darth Sidious (DE): LotF Luke.
Darth Sidious (RotS): Knightfall Vader / Yoda
Darth Plagueis: Between Krayt and Valkorion; strong enough for the dark side to exude anointing Force tremors upon his death in (while throwing a TK temper tantrum).
Greater than Krayt because the dark side fixates on those who display their dominance over others (such as atomizing Maladians, causing the Gungans' coldest recorded winter just by being there, defying the will of the Force, outclassing Venamis both telekinetically and as a duelist, and hurling stone slabs like they were nothing – too quickly for his Master to notice, anyways).
Darth Venamis: Who knows?
Darth Tenebrous: Who cares? Marginally above Vader; less than Krayt, UnuThul, and (probably) Revan.
Darth Vader: Just above Mace, Arcann, and Malgus; between Gethzerion and Tyranus.
Darth Tyranus: Right under Mace and Malgus as a combatant (and a Force-user, what with all that Force Speed and TKing armies' worth of droids); well above the ancients, and slightly above Arcann.
Darth Maul: Somewhere around Shaak Ti and Obi-Wan; under Ulic Qel-Droma Force-wise (and most of the other ancients).
Darth Zannah: Traya.
Darth Bane: Draahg.
