Where does the extra HP come from?

This argument is actually comparing apples to oranges.

Having a lower compression ratio obviously wouldn't add power... but the addition of port injection would have leaned toward utilizing a higher CR since fuel distribution wouldn't be an issue.
It must all be in the valve timing. Since it can be manipulated, it can be altered to add or reduce power and a minute difference of 6hp/L would be possible.
But let's just be happy it's rated at 306 peak hp in the US and not 286 like it "should've" been. =P

Actually the engine should be rated at 314 HP had it not been for the new SAE standards. See the below article for an in depth discussion of the 2GR-FSE (If you look at the charts comparing the DI with the combined DI and PI you will see the hybrid injection sees a 7% gain which, oh by the way, equals our magical horsepower difference):
