Let's talk about how Cursed Energy works. Cursed Techniques are described as the tools used as the electronic, while the Cursed Energy is the electricity powering it. Similarly, Domains are constructed via Cursed Energy.
Essentially, since Cursed Energy directly powers Cursed Techniques and constructs Domain Expansions, naturally the CE should scale to the feats performed by the CT and to the creation of the DEs.
Here comes the tricky part, which I believe is the reason the top-tiers are stuck at city level: How do we prove that the characters scale to Cursed Techniques and Domain Constructions?
Since CE powers both CTs and DEs, this means that to prove a character scales to a certain CT or DE would require us to prove that character can throw or take attacks that contain the same amount of Cursed Energy, or more, than specific CT or DEs we want to scale him to. For example, if we can prove Gojo can tank an attack that contains more CE than what Jogo uses to create his own Iron Mountain, we can argue Gojo scales to the creation of Jogo's domain.
If we can prove Yuta can throw semi-casual attacks that contain more CE than what Yuki used to create her black hole, we can also argue Yuta's attack scales above the black hole. Luckily for us, we can actually do that.
Yuta is described as having the most Cursed Energy out of all the characters in the show, only being second to Sakuna. This suggests that in terms of CE reserve Yuta surpasses Yuki. This means that the totality of his CE scales above her black hole.
This would be useless unless we can prove he can strike using the totality of his CE. But luckily for us, in volume 0 we are told that after taking control of Rika, the manifestation of his power, Yuta is able to casually generate a blast that goes beyond the limits of his own CE. In other words, Yuta's blast would scale above the totality of his CE and above Yuki's black hole.
Would this scale to anyone else? Logically there is no reason for it not to scale to Sakuna. Sakuna had no issue blocking blows from an even stronger and more experienced Yuta, as well as overpowering Rika which is the manifestation of Yuta's CE. What's more, Yuta decided he has a better chance sacrificing himself and taking Gojo's body than to face Sakuna head-on with the rest. That'd make little sense unless Sakuna's durabillity scaled high enough to withstand those beyond CE blasts. Not to mention that Sakuna himself has twice as much CE as Yuta, and his attacks use enough CE to drain him.
Counterargument: Yuta was only capable of doing this one time because after that Rika departed.
Debunk: Rika was powered by Yuta, not the other way around. Her departure affects nothing. Especially when later Yuta produces a new Rika which he can now better control.
Furthermore Geto survived Yuta's blast, which would suggest the top-tiers have durabillity scaling to the power of Yuki's black hole.
This is consistent with Kenjaku surviving Yuki's black hole DESPITE the intent of the attack being to kill him AND him already being in it's center.
There is the argument that Tengen and Yuki prevented it from blowing up the Earth, but that is out-of-context. Tengen did so through barriers. Which means he put barriers around the black hole to prevent how far away it's infuence spread. Since Kenjaku was already where the center of the black hole was, that means he was inside the black hole and would not have been not protected by the barriers. Tengen had no reason to protect Kenjaku with barriers, and he himself was surprised Kenjaku survived. Similarly, there is nothing to indicate Yuki weakened the blow for Kenjaku, since this specific black hole was created that specific size to specifically kill Kenjaku. There is no reason for her to make the black hole this strong with killing intent and then weaken it, at that point she could have just created a smaller and weaker one. Thus we can argue she did something similar to Tengen, where she simply limited how far away it's influence went, not that she necessarily weakened it. Think of it as her limiting the DC, but not the AP. Just because she limited the DC does not mean it's AP was also weakened.
Thus: I believe the top-tiers like Yuta, Sakuna and Gojo should have keys scaling to Yuki's black hole, as well as things like Jogo and Dagon's Domains.
