I’m surprised by the list of forms of power by what it leaves out.
A stereotypical example of power differences is bosses having relationships with their employees.
The boss has power over a different domain of the life of the employee than the domain of the relationship.
It’s the problem of corruption where power from one domain leaks into a different domain where it doesn’t belong.
If there’s an option to advance one’s career by sleeping with one’s boss, that makes it issues of consent more tricky. Career incentives might pressure a person in the relationship even if they wouldn’t want to be in it otherwise.

Just to confirm that this is a great example and wasn’t deliberately left out.
