Some test were done in a specific scenario :

A pakistani Daphne SSK hit by MK 50, Stallions and SSN-27.

The results :

The mk 50 with a warhead of 50kg does 100% damage to the Daphne'
The Stallion with a warhead of 70kg does around 90% damage
The SSN-27-ASW with a warhead of 80kg does 100% damage.

What's your opinion ?

The russian subrocs look consistent, the Stallion has a lesser warhead than the SSN-27 and so does less damage. What about the MK50 with a warhead of 50kg ? Can we ascribe the 100% damage to the superior worksmanhip of US torpedos over russian ones ? Or is something amiss and should be corrected ?

You can't assume that all warhead can be measured simply by their weight.
First you are comparing two different origin warheads. That of the US and Russia.

You said yourself that Russians warheads exhibit consistency in terms of their destruction capabilities with their weight.

I'm no expert in munition but I'm aware that each country develop and research their own war grade explosive. So it may be possible that a lighter warhead of one country to cause more damage than a heavier one of another.
