tasting store bought horseradish and reflecting how mild it is, how is it that (imitation) wasabi which is also made up of horseradish is so pungent.

Store bought horseradish cream contains less than 10% horseradish (this may vary) and contains vegetable oil, milk, etc which would tone down the bite. As real wasabi is expensive a lot of wasabi paste is boosted with mustard seed flour. This may also help explain the variation.
