They both have an equal amount of Hagoromo's chakra, but Naruto has a higher level of chakra without it so of course he still has much more chakra with it.

You realize that speed is a big part of how much power one can impart right? Force is equal to mass times acceleration. Going fast enough, a ping pong ball can have the same force as a bullet.

I didn't agree that he was weak. Just weaker than the ridiculous opponents we've seen him against.

Naruto's power ups after Hagoromo were his Tailed Beast Cloak that contained half of Kurama and a little chakra from the other beasts, and Six Paths Sage Mode.

Sasuke's power ups after Hagoromo were his Rinnegan and a significant boost in power.

Now at this point, the two characters are approximately equal.

So obviously when Sasuke added all 9 Tailed Beasts to himself, he'd be much stronger than Naruto at that point.

The punch was nullified because not only does Sasuke have Six Paths power himself, he also had way, way more chakra than Naruto did at that point. Sasuke using all that Tailed Beast chakra to utilize his Six Paths techniques simply made him too much for Naruto to handle. Sasuke was just ridiculously more powerful until Naruto had to have Kurama absorb nearly all the Nature Energy in the area to make Sage chakra for him.

Tailed Beast chakra in and of itself is not stronger than Six Paths Senjutsu. it was a case of quantity over quality; Sasuke just had massive amounts of chakra at his disposal and used it to power his Six Paths power.
