The need to get it back always seemed to me less about getting more powerful and more about trying to ensure his survival. Rather similar in concept to the myth of the old king who hides his heart in a stone so that no-one will hurt it. Sauron's life-force is bound to the Ring. You would rather want to hang on to that, in such a situation, no?

The point being he made a grievious error in commmitting so much of himself to ol' Don Ringelo. He needed One Ring to rule them all, he knew that when he began the deceit of the Races; he did not know that it would, in a physical sense, cripple him to create it.
