Have you ever thought that maybe it could be just you reading too much into it? He thought that Naruto's immense chakra was his own initially, but then backtracked on his comment after sensing Kyuubi's chakra mixed in. Besides, if he only had enough chakra like Naruto, how the hell would he have been able to fight Hashirama for an entire day AFTER having incapacitated the Kyuubi? He even planned to send his wood clone to fight edo Madara in his stead, which means he could pull off the same chakra-taxing maneuvers like Naruto in the War arc, and we know Naruto couldn't have done those without Kurama's help.

Madara enhanced by Hashirama's cells could create five clones each capable of conjuring Susanoo, which at least implies that Hashirama's clones were capable of pulling off majestic feats too which can't be done without a great source of chakra.
