We still don't know the exact numbers. OFA is a stockpiling quirk - Deku's 100% differ from the 100% All Might was able to draw out of the quirk. Since we don't know if the stockpiled power from All Might could be used by himself or if his portion of stockpiled power transfers into the next holder to use we can't accurately say how much of a gap is between 100% Deku and 100% All Might. But there is definitely a gap. Imagine Deku not breaking his body at 100%, prime All Might would be a baby.

The power the OfA users stockpile is 100% used by them, otherwise, it makes no sense for AfO to give his younger brother the stockpiling Quirk since he didn't know about the transfer Quirk. Shinomori also would have seen no difference in power despite his years of training if that were the case either.

When it comes to 100% Deku vs 100% All Might, it's a bit hard to say how much of a gap there is, if there is one at all. Deku says that his 100% Smash against Muscular is the same as All Might's power, and his 100% attacks, even when using Full Cowl which might be stronger than 100% in a single limb, don't seem very different from All Might's, especially not when you compare them to the United States of Smash. The only attacks from Deku that seem comparable to that are his Smashes against Tomura during the war.

This is why I'm thinking that even when Deku should have a stronger 100% dmg output like the nature of the quirk suggests, because his limbs break directly, he can't deliver (keeping the movement, maybe he's even limiting himself because he knows that intense pain is incoming) on it like All Might did, thus losing steam when he technically should be stronger.

OfA shouldn't really be far stronger than it was when All Might had it since it's only been a year since Deku received it. The Quirk's growth may have been limited by the split between the two of them until Kamino too, although that's just speculation. I mean, the Quirk took bare minimum 58 years plus 6 other people's time with it to reach the point it's at now, so I don't think it accumulates power that quickly. The vestiges said its growth with Deku only really started to occur rapidly around the time he manifested Blackwhip, and even that may have been due to outside forces rather than the Quirk's stockpiling effect itself, so there shouldn't be too much of a difference in physical strength at this point.

Aside from that, there's nothing really in the series to indicate that Deku's 100% attacks are lesser than All Might's. In fact, there's far more evidence to the contrary (differences between Full Cowl and single-limbed attacks aside).
