Certainly he says Sauron is more powerful, simply because Sauron´s specialty is being powerful and dangerous; that´s why he´s in Middle-Earth after all.
Gandalf shouldn´t be powerful, that´s not his nature, although he is of course quite powerful. There are different ways to use power:
the Sauron-way vs. the Gandalf-way.
Maybe Sauron is more powerful because his way is the easy way. Gandalf said somewhere that Sauron was becoming very powerful but he still wasn´t above fear. Giving in to ones fears is easier then resisting them. And according to Master Yoda fear leads to the Dark Side. Maybe it´s not entirely LotR but I think the old Jedi´s words can be used for this whole situation as well.
