Alright, fine. You got me there on a lot of accounts that I was oblivious to. So, I'll just clear up and say what my selection of the most powerful stands in the series are in no particular order excluding GER. In my opinion.

Anubis. Which I think is criminally under-rated in it's power. Posessing a victim and in a fight as seen between Jotaro and "Black" Polnareff in part 3, makes it's posession progressively faster, stronger, more reactive and dangerous. It's "Potentially Strong" for a stand, but needs the right victim to posess.

Cream. Easy to explain. Since it can turn itself and Vanilla Ice into the void. Essentially rectifying Vanilla Ice's weakness to the sun. Making it and him invincible in a sense. Plus anything it touches is evaporated in it's "Void" state.

Killer Queen (DIU). The power of explosions is touchy no pun intended, but Killer Queen is justified because of it's explosive-oriented powers. The ability to turn any object into bombs in which their destructive force can be controlled from atomizing objects up to extremely violent explosions. KQ is also like an arsenal of stands that Kira used throughout the second half of part 4. Sheer Heart Attack which is nearly indestructible and relentlessly chases the target Kira assigned it to and Bites the Dust. I was stupid to ignore Bites the Dust which reverses time and can revert most "God-Like" stands I thought of back to their original status as depicted in ASB. This type of event too could easily have been pulled off if KQ was theoretically in parts 5 through 7.

Bohemian Rhapsody. As you stated it for me, pretty much a stand based around the users imagination (My personal favorite stand of part 6 too). All that's necessary is to imagine the most over-powered characters from fiction and have them fight at your command. It does take time to get going, but once it's fully active and under the right circumstances, it probably is the most powerful stand canonically.

Made In Heaven. Time Acceleration and the power to reset the universe once infinite speed is achieved may realistically best GER, but not Tusk 4 or D4C with Love Train. Yet, it's also consequential and few stands have the prowess to effectively "Survive" the univeral reset if Pucci was killed like the aformentioned GER and also Heaven's Door which is an honorable mention. Which Pucci was killed through the combined power of BTDH and Heavy Weather. Therefore indirectly causing the genocide of sorts to happen.

Tusk 4. Like many of the stands that I wish I was more wary about when I made my first response to this thread, Tusk 4 is easily agreed upon as one of the most broken stands in the series by itself. Infinite energy embedded through Golden Spin, the also infinite "Infinite Rotation" means these two abilities together making escaping Tusk 4 impossible if it simply touches you once. Plus, it can defy and control gravity and disintegrate it's victimis entirely.

D4C. This stand would probably be unstoppable if Tusk 4 never happened. It's abilities being some of the coolest and the most unfair the series presented. Dimension hopping which gives Valentine brief access to the multiverse and the ability to practically heal himself entirely. And then there's Love Train which basically makes Valentine invincible through his own pocket dimension as long as Lucy Steel remains close by or Valentine confronts Tusk 4 and proceeds to get clapped by Johnny.

So, in the end, Dire, and I thank you for shedding light on me about this discussion, there actually are a lot of stands that beat GER from just looking over the abilities. I always thought for the longest time that GER was the most powerful stand and that nothing could beat it. If I had to choose the stands above with the capability to match GER, I'll say Cream, Part 4 KQ, Bohemian Rhapsody, Tusk 4 and D4C.
