In chapter 86 of One Punch Man, Gyoro Gyoro tried to recruit Garou into the Monster Association as a Cadre. Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind state that Garou is not strong enough to fill in the gaps left by Gouketsu and Elder Centipede. They also say that they are stronger than Garou, and imply that they would be a better choice to try to fill in the Gouketsu and EC's spots.
Through this, it is clear that Gouketsu and EC are > HF and Gale.
This would make Gouketsu, Pre-Molt EC, and those who scale to them 'Possibly High 7-A+'.
I know there are a lot more, but these are the first characters that popped up in my mind.

Attack Potency: Possibly Large Mountain level+ (Genos, who has witnessed an all-out battle between Superalloy Darkshine and Carnage Kabuto in the VGS, believed that Gouketsu was more powerful than the latter.Implied to be comparable, if not superior, to Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind.), possibly higher (Genos found his strength somewhat reminiscent of Saitama, whom he witnessed nullifying most of the meteor's impact energy, even believing that the latter needed to team up with multiple heroes to defeat him as safely as possible)
Attack Potency: Possibly Large Mountain level+ (One of the strongest members of the Monster Association. Almost leveled a whole city when he was younger and smaller. Is more powerful that Hellfire Flame and Gale Wind. Can harm Bang and Bomb. Gyoro Gyoro estimated that only the stronger members of the S-Class could challenge him) | At least Large Mountain level+ (Much bigger and stronger than before. Bang thought he needed to use Awakening Breath to fight him)
Small City level (Created a large explosion with Spiral Incineration Cannon. His Jet Drive Arrow is this powerful. Stated by Garou to be comparable to Tanktop Master), higher with Self-Destruction. At least Large Mountain level+ with Ultra Spiral Incineration Cannon (Could harm Post-Molt Elder Centipede)
Attack Potency: Possibly Large Mountain level+ (Considered one of the pillars of the Hero world alongside Superalloy Darkshine, even overwhelming him in a sparring match, although he is vastly inferior in raw strength. Ripped through Gums and overpowered Fuhrer Ugly. Shattered Elder Centipede's carapace. Has a friendly rivalry with Atomic Samurai who holds the utmost respect for him, despite refusing to acknowledge those he considers as weak) | At least Large Mountain level+ (Managed to battle and crack the face of a sleeping Pre-Awakening Garou, but it was stated that if even a single hit from Garou were to land on him, he would lose, which eventually proved to be true)
Attack Potency: Possibly Large Mountain level+ (Stated by Fubuki to be just as strong as his brother. Bomb and Bang often fight together, and Bomb can hold his own with him. Although Bang fought seriously, a held-back Bomb effortlessly defeated him in their youth. His skills have also been stated to be on the level of an S-Class Hero. Shattered Elder Centipede’s carapace by using the Whirlwind Water Stream Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist alongside Bang. Squished the remains of Orochi with Bang. Held his own for a considerable amount of time against Peak Half-Monster Garou even after having had his energy drained by Fubuki)
