Maybe change that Destructive Power is just the ability of a stand acting as a "punching ghost", isn't it? Physical strenght, that is. For example, C-MOON has an N/A in destructive power, but is able to kill you in one strike if it punchs your chest because of the stand's ability. I haven't read Stone Ocean yet, but the wiki page says that C-Moon having strength that allows it to keep up with Stone Free, not to mention that even stands that are physically impossible to kill someone directly with, such as Highway To Hell for example, have a regular power rating. Interesting to note is that the original untranslated page depicting C-Moon's stats puts a zero in place of its power, unlike BDtH, Jail House Lock, Limp Bizkit and literally any other Part 6 stand with a "None" or "N/A" stat.

Araki puts nonsensical stats on his stands all the time (Especially in the earlier parts. Looking at you, Emperor), but power totally does stand for damaging capabilities in general, not just physical strength. Otherwise Oasis, Stray Cat, Ratt and literally any other colony-based wouldn't have a C or higher. By this logic The Hand and Cream should have A in Destructive Power. However, they have B. About these others you mention: the colony stands you're probably thinking got certain "physical" atributes that kinda explains their "strenght"(Metallica was able to dettach Risotto's foot. Or was it KC? Don't remember. And Bad Company has bullets and torpedos...so I guess that kinda counts. Harvest got an E because the units aren't able of killing someone unless they attack a vital point), Oasis is a wearable stand, working sort of like those mechanic suits you see in movies that can enchance physical atributes, like Iron Man's suit( that's really just a supposition). Ratt is almost like a cannon in the way it works, and since canons produce a big pressure due to the whole gun powder entering combustion(in this case would be stand energy, I guess) so it fits in some way. I got no excuses for Stray Cat. It's a plant. It doesn't have the strenght to do shit.

But, again, as you said, Araki isn't consistent with stands stats...at all. I also might be putting to much tought to all of this(I know I am. I usually do that)
