Rep power is how much you could rep if there wasn't a rep cap. Mine is currently 576 but because of the cap, if I rep you now you get 45 points.
Personally I think a low rep cap is only positive; there's absolutely no sense that a few senior members repping a nice post of a new member would give him a medal straight away.
