There's a common misconception on this board (and others) that Kurama's chakra is powering up Sasuke's techniques by 3x based on this scan:
Shikaku asks Kakashi about the difference between using the Kyuubi's chakra for his Kamui versus his own. Kakashi then responds that the difference amounts to at least 3x in favor of the Kyuubi's chakra. This is where the misconception is rooted, the 3 fold difference that Kakashi mentions is only with respect to his own chakra. Shikaku specifically says "...opposed to your own".
It's nonsensical to compare the power of Kakashi's chakra versus Sasuke's, especially since we know that the Uchiha's inherited the SO6P's powerful chakras:
This applies even more so to Sasuke since he has the EMS, the pinnacle of Uchiha visual prowess.
Conclusion: The 3x improvement of the Kyuubi's chakra is specifically the power advantage of the Kyuubi's chakra with respect to Kakashi's chakra. This improvement will vary from individual to individual depending on how powerful there chakras are. As an Uchiha, Sasuke has been blessed with powerful chakras passed on from the S06P. As such, the Kyuubi's chakra will improve his techniques to a lesser degree than someone like Kakashi.

Clarification:
I'm not saying that Sasuke has more powerful chakra than the Kyuubi....
I'm stating that as an Uchiha (especially one with an EMS), his chakras are going to be far more powerful than the likes of Kakashi, and as such, the power delta between the Kyuubi's chakra and his own are smaller. Therefore, the relative improvement he'll obtain from the Kyuubi's chakra will be smaller.
This doesn't mean that Sasuke didn't get a boost from the Kyuubi's chakra, he did. No where in my post do I state otherwise.
