For my purposes in answering, the term "big cat" applies only to the Tiger, Lion, Jaguar, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. Also the analysis is based if all the cats were to have the same measurements as a tiger (i.e. the tiger has the same size and the other four cats increase theirs in order to match that of the tiger).
If these five cats were all the same size, weight, and height, the one that would really stand out is the jaguar and here is why. The average male jaguar measures around 1.5-1.7 m (head and body only) and weighs anywhere from 50-115 kg. In today's world tigers and lions are the most powerful cats largely due to to their size: male Siberian Tigers measure anywhere from 2.0-2.4 m (head and body only) and weigh anywhere from 180-306 kg (average is 215 kg); male Bengal Tigers measure anywhere from 1.9-2.3 m and weigh around 180-258 kg (average in India is roughly 190 kg, while in Nepal is around 200 kg); male African Lions measure anywhere from 1.85-2.2 m (head and body only) and weigh anywhere from 150-225 kg (average is 181 kg in Southern Africa and actually less in Kenya and Tanzania). Just for the record male Leopards measure anywhere from 1.4-1.6 m (head and body only; by the way I read something about a 1.9 m especimen but I could not find a realiable source for such a big leopard) and weigh anywhere from 50-80 kg; while male Snow Leopards are even smaller, having a head and body measure of 1.25-1.4 m and a weight of 40-75 kg.
If we consider those measurements then is obvious that the Lion and the Tiger are physically superior to the Jaguar and the other cats. Yet we have to consider the fact that the Jaguar has already the strongest bite force among all cats and it is probably the strongest big cat in relation to its size: 115 kg in a body of only 1.7 m. In other words a hypothetical jaguar that measures the same as a tiger would be definitively more powerful and stronger than the tiger itself: i.e. the jaguar just knocked out the strongest big cat. The reason for the jaguar's dominance lies on its bite force; a bigger jaguar should have a stronger bite force as its size increases: if a regular jaguar is able to pierce a turtle's shell, then a bigger jaguar must be able to crush any cat's head with its mouth.
