Just limiting ourselves to pop-A and TL-A or better, we have Entrope, Porozlo, Mire, Narsil, Fornice, Mora, Trin (TL also matters; Rhylanor and Glisten, at 8B/TLF, are more powerful than several of those worlds). Using traditional world generation routines, pop-A worlds will be one world in 36, will contain 81% of the population of the Imperium, and due to TL differences will control something like 85% of the total wealth.
Big Ship vs Little Ship

Hardly applicable at all, I'd say, since historically most ships (and IIRC all the major ones) were built in the home nation, whereas in the Imperium, the ships are built at high-tech, high-population worlds from one end of the Imperium to the other. Many, if not all, combat vessels stationed in the Spinward Marches would (IMO) have been built in the Spinward Marches.

I have choosen 71-14 since that was the pre-war period in which the only important nation in the group was really active 
Well, actually I shot from the hip and hoped to miss all "wooden/sailed" ships
We can actually narrow this down to the shorter time that included only the "non sailed" craft, maybe even to the Dreadnaught era. I would prefer 1898-1914 (Tirpitz fleet plan-WWI) since non-dreadnaughts still remained in service and useful.
I think that the fast-paced build is actually a good equivalent to the Imperium-Zhodanie-Solomani Confederation group (USA, GB, D - pick who is who) with the Aslan and KKree playing Japan and Russia, Hiver and Vagr getting France and China etc. Fleets are homogenous unlike post WWII "Carrier" <schnaps to clear taste from mouth> oriented fleets and oversea stations must be filled.

Some might consider Thrash's exposition pertinent.

Only if you exclusively look at US vessels. Internationally, most Landing Ships are smaller than 16000 tons, often considerably so. Look for example at Dutch Rotterdam class, French Foudre class and Italian San Giorgio class.
