It'll depend on the new algorithm for awarding starpower based on contribution but it's looking like a bad ROI going over 100. FYI you can see your current likely Star Power reward in the Tribal Rewards (i.e. normally "Goals" button) screen - so you can see what effect another level has (though only after the fact).

I don't know the exact algorithm obviously so it kinda seems to be approximately (but this is based on me being level 91) your level divided by max level multiplied by tribal starpower. So basically it works out how much you contributed compared to the highest contributor, and then scales the tribal reward to that level. It's not exactly that, so I may be way off, but that would be a vaguely sensible way to do it. (Whereas their "more rewards the more members you have" thing makes no sense whatsoever.)

Point is, the personal star power (which they said from day 1 would be happening!) is not literally the amount you put in, but it does appear to be scaled to the tribe's own level - so level 1s may get very little starpower (ideally 1 to discourage the behaviour), and level 90+s get a good 90+% of the tribal level.
