Kushina is an Uzumaki, which already indicates powerful chakra, but she had a special chakra, even for her clan. This chakra was able to restrain tailed-beast chakra (actually a very good point on how Kurama was more restrained then just oozing chakra normally), which requires strong chakra and/or jutsu,as the only canonical people in history who was actually able to control the tailed-beast chakras were wood-style users. Minato's chakra, on the other hand, is shown more through feats. One example is shown by the Hokage's guard. They were three ninja that were in Minato's personal guard and they know flying thunder god. However, to perform it, it drains them of all their chakra, and they can be assumed to be strong jonin, since they are the Hokage's guard. If one use of flying thunder god drains three jonin of their chakra, that can bring into prespective of Minato's chakra, as in both of the wars he's been in, he was using it a good amount of times. Therefore, it can be logically assumed that Naruto has a large amount of chakra inherently. He could probably make a thousand clones even without Kurama's chakra, or at least more than the horde he summons normally. Just because a parent/parents posses/possesses certain characteristics, doesn't guarantee that so does the offspring. Even Hagoromo mentions how Naruto was born relatively ordinary, compared to his extraordinary parents. That's not to say that he didn't inherit any special traits, but compared to his parents, not that much of it.
