As far as i remember, Naruto never made hundreds of clones purely by himself that also used chakra-intensive abilities. The times that he used something like Rasengan were all when he was using Kurama's chakra.

It's also not entirely clear, it seems to me that Kakashi's words should be interpreted as:

-Naruto's actual, own reserves are 100 times Kakashi's. -Because he uses his chakra to suppress the seal, he normally can only use a fraction of that. -when he uses Kurama's chakra, he has even more, numbering in the thousands of times Kakashi's chakra (as he coats thousands of ninja in high-intensity chakra). So a thousand clones would all be Jonin-level.
