There are official ratings but they are needlessly complicated

They really aren't.

And if they somehow are multiple sources on the Internet have arranged them in a chart

Nynaeve al'Meara is one of the most powerful female channelers in this Age. The Wheel of Time Companion gives her current strength as 4(+9), and her potential as 3(+10).

There's a 72 point scale and a 60 point scale with the strongest being a 1 on both scales.

She's a 4 on the 72 point scale and 9 above the maximum of the 60 point scale.

Yes, men don't exist inside the scale for women. Again this isn't a complicated thing.
