TNT I guess
Octanitrocubane apparently but it's too expensive to be practical.

Explosive strength is directly tied to chemical instability, OP, among some other factors.
If you want the strongest explosive, you will also have one of the most dangerous, and it will not be the kind of stuff you could ever amass any great quantity of.
