Here are the values of a few common large power units, expressed in watts (W). Largest first:
1 gigawatt = 1000 000 000 W
1 megawatt = 1000 000 W
1 "boiler horsepower" is about 9809.91 W (obsolete)
1 ton of refrigeration = 12000 Btu/h = 3516.85284206666... W
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 W
1 horsepower (hp) = 1 hp = 550 ft.lbf/s = 745.69987158227022 W
1 "metric" horsepower (ch, PS,pk, hk, etc.) = 75 kgm/s = 735.49875 W
1 kilocalorie per hour (kcal/h) = 1.16222222... W

The unit of power is still the Watt whether it's Giga mega Kilo or whatever. The answer is no. Horsepower isn't a standard unit.

Horsepower is much stronger than a Watt.

If by stronger you mean bigger units of Power then you may certainly use, MegaWatt, GigaWatt etc.
Or you may use Horse Power(HP)
1HP=746 Watt
