Where was it said that it was more powerful as a tree than a beast? Also you are getting the chakra thing wrong. It's not about the quantity but essence of chakra. The original chakra was split into millions of aspects possibly, so when you re-merge all chakra, you get the same as the original "quality-wise" it doesn't matter that there will be more or less of it. Kinda like only pieces of Kurama's chakra were enough to restore the Ten-Tails at full power, it only took some time for the missing quantity to regenerate.
