I think the original "power" might have been how close an Ainu was to Eru, and how much of his purpose they percieved. Morgoth saw the most, but Manwe understood the most. It's in the Silm. and when they came down to Ea, that translated into Power, because they each had some specific, unique understanding of it's purpose.
