Summary: 

You have left out a number of factors... one of which is the cooling
effect of the gasoline.  By running rich the air/fuel mixture is cooled
and stays dense.  Hence the total amount of air/fuel that is introduced
to the combustion chamber will be greater and more power will be generated.
Too much fuel and you start washing the oil off the cylinder walls.
I suggest you pick up a short book on carburation from your local library
or bookstore.  Most of the major factors will be discussed.
