In a steady state situation where an unvarying amount of power is being transmitted the loss will be equal. i.e. at a steady 60mph a 150 and a 300hp engine w/ the same gearing and aero packages will have the same absolute driveline loss.

Dyno runs are not steady state, there are accelerations involved which cause the absolute power dissipated uselessly to increase non linearly
