Well, Naruto by himself is probably just as powerful as half of the original Kurama. Remember when Naruto opened the cage & fought Kurama? This was around the time Naruto first awakened the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. After that fight, one can make a case that Naruto and Kurama were on the same level (considering how Naruto went into Sage Mode, used the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique and unleashed all those huge-ass Rasengans to overwhelm Kurama, including a Rasenshuriken to finish it off), but Kushina was the "tiebreaker" that gave the advantage to Naruto. In Naruto and Kurama's Tailed Beast Mode, unlike the other jinchuurikis where the Tailed Beast is the main catalyst, both Naruto and Kurama were predominant in that form. Naruto was again using Kurama's chakra, but Kurama was covered in Naruto's yellow Asura-chakra. In the simplest terms, Naruto's power = 1/2 of Original Kurama's, so 1/2 of the Original Kurama's power (Naruto's power) + 1/2 of the Original Kurama's power (Yang Kurama's power) = the full power of Kurama. At least that's what I think gave Naruto and Kurama leverage over the other 5 tailed beasts.
