Here is the minimum damage calculations for smite evil:

2 (Minimum Scythe Damage) + 3 (Strength Bonus * 1.5) + 4 (Divine Favour) + 10 (Divine Might) + 7 (Divine Wrath) + 385 (Smite Evil = 11 (Great Smite X) * 35 (Pal 13 + CoT 22)) 411

Now that's with no magical equipment at all. Magical Strength and Charisma Enhancing Equipment and a Magic Scythe can Easily add another +20 base damage.
