The most powerful in terms of muzzle energy is probably the .950 JDJ. The rifle weighs 80-120 lbs and even with ports and an 18 lb muzzle break with 4 Mercury recoil reducers the gun still has 200+ ft lbs of recoil.
.950 JDJ 3,600 grain 2,200 fps 38,000 ft lbs of energy.
The most powerful shoulder fired cartridge is the 700 Nitro Express with a 20 lb rifle and still 160-200+ ft lbs of recoil.
700 Nitro Express 1,000 grain 2,000-2,600 fps 8,900-15,500 ft lbs of muzzle energy.
The most powerful sporting rifle/cartridge also goes to the 700 Nitro Express.
If you count black powder elephant rifles as sporting cartridges then its the 2 bore with its 1.32 in. muzzle diameter and its low muzzle velocity keeps it virtually painless and yet kicks slightly more than the 700 Nitro express.
S&H 2 bore 3,600 grain 1,500 fps 17,000 ft lbs

Is a rifle the most powerfullest gun ever?
First, it is rifle, not riffle. Second, no, or we would shoot tanks with a rifle. Cannon are more powerful. Finally, depends on the rifle. I have a .22 rifle and a .44 magnum pistol. The pistol is far more powerful than the rifle. I also have a .22 pistol, and a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is far more powerful than the pistol (in THAT example).

Where is the most powerful under lever 0.177 air rifle?
If you are asking "WHAT" not "Where" is the most powerful under lever .177 air rifle. Then I suggest the "Hatsan Torpedo 150 air rifle." I comes in at around 1250 FPS where as most of the other under levers fire at around 950 to 1000 FPS. However Under levers are not the most powerful air rifles. The PCP (PreCharged Pneumatic) Class of air rifles are the most powerful air rifles. An "Air Force Condor and the Evanix Rainstorm" fires a .177 cal pellet at 1300 FPS.
