I see where you found this information: http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/20107/recreating-bloated-blurred-text-in-tate-modern-logo-in-photoshop

The technique works. The only thing I see that you have done differently is that you have masked the groups and not the text layers themselves. (Which will work, but you still need the blur and the curves adjustment)

 I don't see a curves adjustment layer either. You also have to apply a blur to the text in order for the gradient to work.

This is a quick run at it, it can use some tweaking. I also used smart objects/filters so I could adjust them at any time.
