Please do not forget that the whole scene was actually a kind of concentration quest from Initiatehood to Devotion in the Force Cult.
So Luke had a lot of unseen support from his dead Patron (OWK) and a lot (probably an entire genealogy) of Jedi spirits already trascended to the Force Magma and channelled in Luke via the voluntary sacrifice of Shaman Yoda.
Even if defeated in battle and in relationship by the united might of the Sith Duo, at the critical time the Support that was to Luke *returned* to Vader, who was the original Avatar of the Two Churches (the Dark and Light side of the Force Cult), destined to "bring balance to the Force" before Luke had even been conceived.
