I mean unless Dooku is stronger than Sidious, how is his power alone able to bring Talzin back to physical form at full power? Dooku is still shown to be stronger than Maul as well, so he clearly wasn't fully drained.
Quotes stating Talzin to be almost as powerful as Sidious are sketchy to me, and are clearly contradicted by the SoD showing.
Either we accept Dooku is Sheev+ tier, or Talzin is solidly less powerful than someone weaker than Sidious.

If you take into account the fact that she fought Mace while already dead you realise she evidently wasn’t completely out of power. In fact, I didn’t really realise how impressive that makes her showing against Mace, so thanks for that mmm
She was in spirit form when she fought Mace*, she just had the strength to solidify when she absolutely had to. Reviving Maul is what ‘killed’ her, it’s made clear in numerous sources that infusing life into his legs and clearing his mind cost her immeasurably.
The point of the Ritual Mace stopped appeared to be returning her to full power. She was draining people of their essences, just like she had to drain Dooku.
*Edit: this is evidenced by the fact she finally dissipates after a minuscule blast that couldn’t even kill a gungan, Talzin blends between Spirit and Material often but it’s fairly obvious she had ran out of her power and this was a last ditch attempt. She was also fading in and out of existence, if you look closely.
