There are sources saying you're completely wrong. 😂
He and Malak had found something. He couldn’t remember what it was, or where it was, but he feared it on a deep, primal level. Somehow he knew that whatever the terrible secret might be, it was a threat far greater than the Mandalorians or the Star Forge. And Revan was convinced it was still out there.

And we know Kun had already surpassed the Emperor prior to the majority of his power growth:
Odan-Urr goes to the Force and the darkest power in the galaxy walks away with something that will make him even stronger.

Exar Kun might not have risen to power so quickly had Odan-Urr destroyed the Sith Holocron when he’d had the chance.

Fun fact about the holocron is that it's the most powerful of all-time:
The most powerful Sith Holocron contained Sith teachings and histories that covered some hundred thousand years.

Which would include Lord Dramath's holocron.
The fact that Vitiate was a far greater threat than the Star Forge posed, and that Exar Kun was already the strongest dark-sider in the galaxy before the holocron took his power growth rate and gave it a very significant boost. All of this indicates prime Exar Kun > EoMW!Vitiate >> the Star Forge.
Not to mention Kun's collective feats are straight up better than anything Vitiate has until we get to proper SWTOR territory.
Just found out Dooku also used the Dark Holocron (found here):
The most powerful Sith Holocron contained Sith teachings and histories that covered some hundred thousand years... The Dark Holocron was taken by Jedi Lorian Nod, who maintained that he saw "true evil" when he accessed the device. Motivated by Nod's claims, Dooku later used the Sith Holocron as well, unlocking its secrets in preparation for his transformation into Darth Tyranus.
