I have proof that Bowser's troops and Bowser himself were powered by the Stars. Here's quotes from Bowser in 64:

"Grrr! I was a bit careless. This is not what I had planned...but I still hold the power of the Stars, and I still have Peach. Bwa ha ha! You'll get no more Stars from me! I'm not done with you yet, but I'll let you go for now. You'll pay for this...later! - DS: Gwa ha ha!"

"Ooowaah! Can it be that I've lost?! The power of the Stars has failed me... this time. Consider this a draw. Next time, I'll be in perfect condition. Now, if you want to see your precious princess, come to the top of the tower. I'll be waiting! Gwa ha ha!"

"Nooo! It can't be! You've really beaten me, Mario?!! I gave those troops power, but now it's fading away! Argghh! I can see peace returning to the world! I can't stand it! - N64: Hmmm... It's not over yet... - DS: But it's not over yet... C'mon troops! Let's watch the ending together! Bwa ha ha!"

So yes, Bowser did give the power of the Stars to his troops and himself. King Bomb-Omb had a Star, which he notes Bowser gave to him:

"No visitors allowed by decree of the Big Bob-omb. I shall never surrender my stars. They hold the power of the castle in their glow. They were a gift from Bowser, the King Koopa himself. They lie well hidden in my realm. Not a whisper of their whereabouts shall leave my lips. Oh, all right, perhaps just a hint: heed the Star names at the beginning of the course."

Mario and the 64DS crew are still powered by the Stars. Here is some proof:

Notice what the text says. The castle makes Mario and crew stronger. And what "power" does the castle have?:

"Am I glad to see you! The Princess...and I...and, well, everybody...we're all trapped inside the castle walls. Bowser has stolen the castle's Stars, and he's using their power to create his own world in the paintings and walls. Please recover the Power Stars! As you find them, you can use their power to open the doors that Bowser has sealed. There are four rooms on the first floor. Start in the one with the painting of Bob-omb inside. It's the only room that Bowser hasn't sealed. When you collect eight Power Stars, you'll be able to open the door with the big star. The Princess must be inside!"

Plus, don't forget,Yoshi hit an enemy in Yoshi's island hard enough to make them into a constellation. That's multiple stars:

So there is indeed evidence that Yoshi has this level of power.
