The power of other station is not essential. It is your power that counts.

Good point. An exchange of power levels is, again, rooted in low-power contests. It's interesting, but I would say that this is the most expendable part of the exchange.

It seems to me that a score per contact, rather than an overall multiplier, makes some sense and that it should be based on the *other* station's power.

Let's face it, if I run 10 mW and you hear me, and come back to me with a 100W signal, it is *you* that did the hard work digging my signal out of the noise, not me doing the work of digging you out. I realize that there is skill involved in timing and offset of the weak signal being transmitted, but the receiving station ought to get higher score for that contact!
