Here's my view of the different power levels, when comparing Shinigami to Hollows:


 * 1) Unseated Shinigami = Most ordinary Hollows
 * 2) Seated Officers (11th-20th) = Strong ordinary Hollows
 * 3) Seated Officers (7th-10th) = Gillian
 * 4) Seated Officers (4th-6th) = Adhujas, Gillian level Arrancar
 * 5) Lieutenants, 3rd Seats = Most Adhujas level Arrancar
 * 6) Most Captains = Vasto Lorde, Strong Adhujas level Arrancar (Espada 5-9)
 * 7) Strong Captains, Visored = Vasto Lorde level Arrancar (Espada 0-4)

Of course the power level varies greatly within groups, so this is only my guess of what the average power of each group might be. It has also not been confirmed that the top 5 Espada were actually Vasto Lorde; it is mere speculation on my part.
