Try Metz flashes - excellent but they have all the bells & whistles BUT you can use them in 1:1 power.

Metz is bankrupt now. Try Yongnuo flashes, there are others out there, but those seem to work well. I have a couple of them.

well... there are "barebulb" options running on AA batteries that can be mounted on a hotshoe... they may or may not deliver more light vs regular flash based on your specific situation and how do you need your light projected... also you if you can use external powerpack and if you can spend $$$ then there are more powerful barebulf options options like Quantums or similar

try searching for "hammerhead flash" that brings up a lot of options by different manufacturers;

though if you only search for hammerhead mostly all you get is sharks

not exactly hot shoe mountable though... if you go that route you can simply mount several cheap flashes on a bracket, hand held

Pentax AF 540 FGZ . I see the Guide Number is Much higher than the Yongnu Powerful Flash.  Is that possible?   Thank you

The Strobist recommends the LumoPro LP180 Speedlight review here.

http://speedlights.net/speedlights-power-index/  With Metz gone, maybe Nissin now would be second for power.

Maybe a Godox Wistro AD360 too?  http://www.godox.com/EN/Products_Camera_Flash_Witstro_AD180&AD360_Powerfou&Portable_Flash.html

I tried the Calumet branded version of the Godox Wistro AD180. Two power cables failed. I would be hesitant to recommend these units based on that. That goes for the AD360 as well--same power cables. Aside from that, these are bargains if you want barebulb flashes; your luck might be better than mine with them. Also, though I've been working with an external battery pack for a while with my Nikon flashes, I decided I didn't want the bulk anymore.

So I recently picked up a Neewer (rebranded Godox) v850. The flashes uses an internal lithium battery. It is about the size of an SB910. Fully manual, no auto settings (there is a TTL version available). Controls are simple and straightforward. The battery is amazing--it lasts and lasts. And, the unit is cheap: about $130. It also has a dedicated radio unit available so you can control an off camera flash (actually, flashes, plural) from the camera. The only downside is that there is only one remote sync port: a 2.5mm mono plug. You can find them on Amazon or via cheetahstand.com.
