Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

We have little to add to the previous response. Statistical power is a characteristic of a test. It depends on the indicator and the test. DHS data are used more for estimation than for testing. The width of confidence intervals and the coefficient of variation are more relevant criteria, but they also vary from one indicator to another. The appendix on the sample design in the final reports includes a great deal of information about the standard errors and design effects of the main indicators.
