Chaos > The Emperor
Well one of the accounts of Horus vs. The Emprah had the Emprah standing there, while Horus was hitting Him, asking him to repent, and when he wouldn't, decided to erase him.
Also, the Emprah forced 100,000 astartes to kneel against their will, and banished Doombreed (who destroyed two chapters single-handedly) with a snap of his fingers. Also, the Chaos Gods refer to him as "the anathema". Also, even after he died, he manages to single-handedly prevent the chaos gods from physically manifesting in the materium.
Also, he's shiny

The Emperor of ten thousand years ago wasn't nearly as powerful as the Emperor of today.
The current Emperor has a cult of trillions funneling him power. This is the Emperor that the Chaos gods were actually afraid of.

The single most powerful entity in WH40K wasn't included in your list... So I voted for the Hive Mind, since it's effortlessly diminishing the emperor's power. But I don't think the Tyranids will take the galaxy in the end, mind you. The Hive Mind seems to have no idea what to do about the Necrons... In fact it seems a little scared of them.
The correct answer for the most powerful entity is: Cegorach, aka The Laughing God. I bet he could wipe out the galaxy and the contents of the warp if it wasn't all just a big cosmic joke to him.

Obviously it's Tzeentch, no one knows his grand plan.
Tzeentch could have just one day thought "what would happen if I combined a lot of sharman together?", bam Emprah. Or perhaps the Emperor was Tzeentch.
Really though because it is written from the perspective of the IoM every source will say that the Emperor is the strongest being to have ever and will ever exist.

mork and gork simply because there are more orc than anythign else in the galaxy. forget the soarce but it said the imperium sent out probes into space that have gone outside the known and charted galaxy and the only thing that remains sure though it all is there are always orks
in the grand scheme of all of 40k for all we know the real opponents to orks are elsewhere and the imperium and other 40k forces are just an interesting side venture for the thier amusment that they could stomp out at any given time
now i will note i can't remember where i read the fluff about the probes but i remember something about they send back data every decade century or millenium somethign like that.

Actually he was more powerful before thousands of times over than he is now.
Of those trillions, only the psykers are able to actually help him, and only when sacrificed.
And his enormous use of psychic energy aboard the Vengeful Spirit drained him significantly, and his holding 4 (5? Malal) gods out of the universe and keeping a huge rift closed hasn't exactly given him time to regenerate...
Plus, before, instead of using his psychic energy to keep himself intact, he was generating it.
Anyways, he can clearly out krump Gork+Mork.
And the Chaos Gods alone couldn't kill mork and gork because unlike the Orky gods who's followers make them more powerful, the Chaos Gods use a fraction of their own power to create their followers: their legions, millions, billions, trillions of daemon, daemon princes, greater daemons, their sorceries, the mutations they give their followers etc. etc. all use up power. The chaos gods could re-absorb everything and krump the krump out of the orks.

Of all the wh40k factions, only the tyranids are extra-galactic. You misread. I think I remember what you are talking about, but am certain that it was WITHIN the galaxy.
Also (presumably) daemons exist elsewhere...
Plus, both tyranids and daemons out-number orks, and they only pass the IoM population but a fairly small margin (relatively speaking). There are even sources that say the IoM has the greatest population, and while this is obviously retconned, for it to have been there in the first place speaks volumes for how close the populations are.

Emperor killed all of their champion, but he didn't want to kill his son.
When he fought with him, essence and power of all 4 Chaos gods where in Horus. Even near the end of his life, he destoy his son, his souls and shattered the Chaos gods ( all 4 of them ).
Even now he is f****** with them by denying them most of Human souls that goes to warp ( except heretics ). And he is doing that with 20% of his power ( 80% is stuck in him and poweringthe Astronomicon ).
So Emperor >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chaos Gods
