I would like to welcome one and all to this parsing, which involves raising the level of Baki's verse, I'll start with a preface, I suggest.
⌯────────────────────────────────────────────────────────⌯
Multipliers, Yujiro's scaling and Doppo's Prime key.
This topic has been discussed on the wiki more than once with direct arguments that it's useless and contrary to canon, but I'll also add a couple of clarifications.
The endorphin multiplier is x2 (Hanayama says Baki is 2 times stronger than him, and after Baki plugged in the endorphins he immediately corrects the confirmation to x4), assuming that demon back is both narratively and shown to be the strongest multiplier in the manga, as well as Baki's main trump card (endorphins are even used by the athlete, by the way) I'll take the multiplier as exactly the same - x2.
Motobe is the character who lost to Kinryuzan(that was on par with IGARI), however, he was capable of fighting Yujiro on equal at the arc of Doppo and Yujiro's fight, but in the end Hanma used the demon's back, deeming Motobe worthy to do so.
If you're wondering why Yujiro has gotten so much stronger by the time of the tournament, it's all about his reactive evolution, with each fight he gets stronger and stronger, especially when it comes to fighting a strong opponent (chapters 49-50), the speed of this is so fast that Straydam, who knows Yujiro's power firsthand, compares the speed of evolution to the universe expanding infinitely at the speed of light.

Now, finally, let's get to the main topic.
Hanma Yujiro in his battle with Doppo Orochi is unable to counter Doppo in terms of both speed and strength, absorbing a huge amount of damage(15 KT) up to the point of using the demon's back.
Katsumi as well as Goki Shibukawa are fully scaled to Doppo in terms of physical characteristics, in one case it's a direct statement and in the other case it's shown(Both 15 KT).
Katsumi after becoming even stronger in his fight with Hanayama falls knocked out by a single punch from Retsu Kaio(15 KT)
Baki in his base state is able to fight Retsu on equal footing, at times even dominating and doing significant damage(15 KT in base state).
Baki in his fight with Biscuit Oliva, even using his back, is unable to easily overpower him, making him a pure equal in terms of physical strength, x2 multiplier(30 KT for Oliva).
Base state Yujiro has no trouble defeating Mr. Free, and since he is also able to use the demon's back he scales to 60 KT).
⌯────────────────────────────────────────────────────────⌯
Conclusion
Pretty much the entire tournament max and the others scale up to the earthquake feat, which gives them 15 KTs;
Everyone who scales up to Oliva reach 30 KTs;
Everyone who scales up to SOO Yujiro with his back, such as Baki or Musashi, reach 60 KTs
