You have what appears to be a large loss coefficient.
WaterHeater:Stratified,
Storage Tank Stratified, !- Name
0.15, !- Node 1 Additional Loss Coefficient {W/K}
0.1; !- Node 6 Additional Loss Coefficient {W/K}
10% to 15% in losses seems high to me but I am not an expert in water tanks. Try decreasing these losses and see if the tank acts more like you would expect (e.g.,dived losses by 10 to 0.015 or 0.01 W/K)
