If an Acclamator could hit with 200,000 megatons then how is the superior energy tech of Rakatan ships only destroying a single skyscraper with a dozen shots? The flux cannons of the Emperor's Fortress are inferior tech given that the Interdictors are Star Forge design and yet they were tearing apart two fleets.
Don't even get me started on Eternal Fleet ships using Iokath technology. Three of them had to maintain a barrage of firepower to consume a single Zakuulan city block. Yet a single dreadnought's reactor explosion busted the combined shield of the entire rest of the eternal fleet. Which was no-selling the massed firepower of an Imperial fleet.
There's clearly something off here and it's not me.

I think you just answered your own question. It's clear that they don't possess superior energy tech. At least in regards to their ability to match a Republic era ships's firepower.

Until you get to the fact that it's stated that a single piece of Rakatan tech can conquer the galaxy through sheer technological prowess.
But anyway, so what's this about Starkiller's cannon feat? Because guess what. It doesn't look like any feat at all.

So you're simultaneously arguing that a single "piece" of Ratakan tech can conquer the galaxy, and that their 300 meter long ships have less firepower than a modern day nuclear submarine? 😕

But...they have... 😕
Firstly, the issue had been settled a while ago by Leland Chee himself. (Sadly, the firsthand sources are on now defunct channels, but you can clearly see that even people who were vehemently opposed to the figures at the time clicked on the links and did not question that the exchanges actually happened)
Secondly, we have several pieces of supporting evidence including Base Delta Zeroes, acceleration feats shown in the films themselves, scaling from the Death Star, etc.
Thirdly, trying to cry inconsistency while arguing that Exar Kun can tank hundreds of gigatons to the face is kind of funny.
