We have come to associate Revolution with an increase in power--likely because that's how it works for Baam (among other effects)--, but the prime purpose of Revolution as described by GoG is merely to awaken / meet one's true self. In fact, I always considered Revolution as something like "an enhanced introspection"; maybe some increase in power is implied, but it's most likely only limited to the notion of fully grasping one's true potential.

Considering this, and accounting for SIU's latest change / update of the lore, we can assume that Urek managed to bring out his true potential on his own, while Zahard&Co needed a helping hand. However, this doesn't mean that Zahard was weaker or stronger than Urek without the Revolution; it only means that Zahard had more to unlock about himself (new abilities? more power? some clarity? etc.), and that he couldn't manage to unlock it on his own. That said, if SIU changed the lore to go with the flow and decided to re-brand Revolution as a "power-up" process (i.e., no matter the Revolution in question, some power-up is bound to occur), then it still wouldn't help us with comparing Urek's and Zahard's power levels. Urek may have been more powerful than pre-Revolution Zahard, he might be even more powerful than the post-Revolution Zahard, but it's also possible that pre-Revolution Zahard was already just as powerful or even more powerful than Urek, and that he got even more powerful with the Revolution.
