As far as I can find, there's no interview with Araki saying that Star Platinum is the most powerful Stand. What I could find was Araki saying that the only way to beat Jotaro was to remove or disrupt his time stop, which GER may or may not be able to do. He could when Jotaro attacks, that's how GER works.
