This is just a CRT on the application of this feat, which has already been accepted and applied to Goyathlay Soundman's page.
At the very least, Kars needs to get High 6-A for Dune Ultimate due its very nature as being an improved version of Dune itself. Beyond that however, I believe both Kars and Dio deserve this as a value for their physical AP Key as well. During Kars's battle with Dio, he uses Dune Ultimate to imprison Dio. Not only is Dio able to escape from this trap (putting him firmly above Dune Ultimate's power), but he is also shown able to trade blows with Kars, scaling the two physically to one another.
Now, currently Dune Ultimate's AP varies based on the amount of sand it has. However, I would like to argue against this point, considering how Dune actually functions. Dune doesn't function like a normal Stand, separate from its user. For all intents and purposes, Dune IS Soundman, since both Dune and Soundman are just sand that they have accepted. As well, at no point in the novel are we ever told that Soundman loses or gains strength when absorbing more sand, he just is the sand. My point with this is that no matter how much sand Soundman has, he should still be able to exert the same amount of energy over it, since he's just moving his body when he does. The feat of him pulling all the sand together on Mars isn't a feat for when he has a high amount of Sand, but is just a feat for him and his AP period.
There's also the existence of Dune Ultimate to consider. Kars was on Mars and witnessed everything Dune was capable of, understanding it and creating his own bound in the form of Dune Ultimate. Kars's Ultimate Stands/Bound abilities are so strong, that whenever they are transferred to regular humans via a disc, they will immediately explode as they are unable to handle. This fact is said to apply to humans in general by the way, implying that if Soundman was given a copy of something like Dune Ultimate, he would explode immediately from its power.
Anyways, I hope that makes sense. I know that may sound a bit rambly, but I'm pretty busy today and just wanted to get this out there quickly. Here's what I want to add just as a summary:

- Dune Ultimate: Multi-continental AP (Is vastly superior to Soundman's Dune, which could gather all of the sand on Mars at once)
- Dio Brando: Multi-continental AP (Broke out pillar of sand created by Dune Ultimate)
- Kars: Multi-continental AP (Can harm Dio Brando with his punches)
