The quote about there being no more than 7 Balrogs is not in the Silmarillion. It is in "Morgoth's Ring." Chapter 2, The Annals of Aman. Christopher Tolkien says in that chapter that his father wrote that there were never more than 7 Balrogs.

I'll try to find the quote about Gothmog being Morgoth's most powerful servant next to Sauron.
