The Shishi Hokodan and Moko Takabisha aren't weak attacks in their own series', but as compared to the chi blasts in something like Street Fighter, they are both fairly weak and extremely limited.
If you want to classify them as chi blasts, you'll have to then figure out what's different about Herb's, since they're indicated to be different and beyond human capacity. If you classify any application of compressed air as a chi blast, Kunou can fire them.
Aaron already pointed out that Akuma has done stuff considerably more powerful than the PSSH. In addition, you vastly overestimate how big it was; it glowed brightly for sure, but the impact crater wasn't even ten meters across. Plus, Ryouga was unharmed because unless he's distracted, the Perfect Shishi Hokodan doesn't hurt its wielder.
As for verging on DBZ power levels? Um, dude. Saffron is more powerful than any other Ranma character by several orders of magnitude. Master Roshi, in DBZ, is so weak he doesn't even contribute to any fights. Master Roshi blew up the moon with one shot. That's several orders of magnitude more powerful than Saffron.
Ryuu Kumon needed to stand there glowing and concentrating to power up to use the Kijin Raishuu Dan (Genma screams for everybody to run away while he does so). He does similar powerups when using the move later, and when using the Kijin Dairanbu. As for Kiima, a) there's no evidence her vacuum blades are as powerful, and b) she's not human - she uses her wings to use that attack.
In Guyver canon Chronos owns entire villages, has operatives in every government, every police force, every news agency, they have operatives at Sho's school, they kidnap scientists at will, they can get people into the office of the President of the United States or the UN without any trouble, nobody knows they exist, and they defeat the military forces of the Earth in a day. They CAN brainwash people, because many zoanoids don't even know they're zoanoids and go about their normal lives until it's time to strike. That's "owning the world for all intents and purposes" in my book.
(Edit: No worries, man, healthy discussion. Though, to answer your question? It comes up very directly in the series just what it does.)
