I'm trying to get a sense of the strongest players outside of GS/MS/Q.
Would the second bucket consist of DB/Barclays? Has CS recovered?
The strongest player is MS. Next would be DB, GS, and JPM in some order. Barcap and BAML are probably next.
anyone?
This is probably not what your looking for, but has some info in regards to what your asking:

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I recall mergermarket having an breakdown for EOY2011. This won't help you too much on the IPO side, but should give you an idea of who the larger players are in general.

Alright screw it, I'll help out instead of half-assing it. Happy Thanksgiving.
For M&A only YTD: JP MS CS GS DB CITI Lazard UBS Rothschild Evercore Mizuho Raine Barclays BAML Moelis Qatalyst
This includes all of TMT - hope its helpful. A lot of M&A activity will go unreported or have undisclosed figures, so this list is pretty loose. I'd assume Jefferies/WF/RBC are all up there as well if this was a truly transparent ranking.
We don't show much 2012 YTD league tables. I can track down 2011 to 2012YTD league tables if you're interested.
2012YTD IPO league tables (# of bookrun deals) as of November 16, 2012:
DB: 19 MS: 14 JPM: 13 GS: 12 CS: 8 Barclays: 8 Citi: 6 BAML: 6 UBS: 4 Jefferies: 4
Mind you this does not reflect economics. MS has been left on many deals this year and therefore gets 35-40% economics. Therefore, there fee revenue is likely the highest out of all the banks.
2011 to 2012YTD tech equity (as of November 15, 2012):
DB: 52 deals, $28.9bn MS: 49 deals, $30.7bn JPM: 38 deals, $26.4bn GS: 37 deals, $28.0bn Barclays: 30 deals, $26.0bn
2011 to 2012YTD tech M&A (as of October 30, 2012):
DB: 39 deals, $42.0bn MS: 36 deals, $38.42bn GS: 33 deals, $66.6bn BAML: 28 deals, $42.2bn Barclays: 22 deals, $43.0bn JPM: 20 deals, $44.2bn Jefferies: 18 deals, $9.8bn UBS: 15 deals, $25.2bn CS: 15 deals, $20.5bn Citi: 14 deals, $22.8bn
Shocked to see the league tables and the way they stand. CS has fallen dramatically. DB has moved up alarmingly.
