Thanks! I'll discuss my rationale in future posts. I tried to take into account what these beings were able to do with their power not just their potential. For example, what they were able to accomplish and how easily they were defeated. Thanos has made the most of what he has: not all sevens on the power grid but he threatened the entire universe on a number of occasions. I agree Wyncham is a bit high, but he was able to do quite a bit of damage before he was stopped (he even killed a Watcher). Along these lines, this is why I put the largely passive but very powerful cosmic entities at #8, and why the mystical beings get such high ratings.
