[quote=HairyKnuckles]How does anyone rate and rank power? How is that done? There is no way we would know all the connections all the bosses and members had. And how would we know exactly how much money all the members made? It´s impossible to know that. But if we are talking pure size, and going back to 1920s/1930s, the Gambinos are no 1, the Genoveses are no 2 (but they are bigger in size than the Gambinos today and have been for the last 20 years or so), Bonannos are no 3, Luccheses no 4 and Colombos no 5.

There's plenty of ways to make an educated guess when it comes to who's is the most powerful. It's done by research as you've done and making a summary judgement of unions controlled, do they have racketeers or dope traffickers or both? Gambling? Loan sharking or all. It's quite simple to comprise a list. It's been done to people's best judgement thousands of times.
