Contenders are:- LBV 1806-20 - ~ 5,000,000 times brighter than the Sun. Pistol Star - ~ 1,000,000 times brighter than the Sun (Variable) Cygnus OB2-12 ~ 6,000,000 times brighter than the Sun HD 93129A ~ 5,500,000 times brighter than the Sun. Eta Carnae ~ 5,000,000 times brighter than the Sun.
Brightness is related to distance. However, from the same distance, an O class star is much much brighter than a M class star. As a comparison, an O class star would appear about 100,000 times brighter than our Sun, whereas a M class star could appear 0.0017 dimmer than our Sun, if the Sun was replaced with each star.
