I don't know where you are getting your facts, or what makes you believe that only a few Primarchs had psychic abilities, the Primarchs are beings of the immaterium as their souls lay in the warp. Vulkan never had lightning bolts shooting from his eyes but that doesn't give one reason to think he had No psychic power. The only way the Primarchs survived being flung through the warp was due to the psychic power given to them by the Emperor. All humans in 40k (with the exception of Pariahs) have a little psychic power since their souls exist in the warp. Just because a Primarch was no Psyker does not mean they had no psychic ability at all. Vulkan being a son of the Emperor and not having psychic abilities holds no water itself. And the Emperor's psychic power was mostly used up after erasing Horus's soul. The Emperor had basically been "poisoned" by the full power of all 4 Gods of Chaos and was unable to heal instantly from the wounds, he would have needed about a day to regenerate his psychic power, such was the power of the bolt he put into Horus, because when he destroyed Horus physically, mentally, and spiritially, he overwhelmed the will of ALL that Chaos could muster. The Emperor was already staving off terrible, chaos inflicted wounds with the small amounts of psychic power he had left, and like I've already said, he was placed on the Golden Throne within minutes after the Horus Heresy was over. The Emperor would have had no time, nor energy at all to heal his wounds and body as a perpetual.

Also, do not forget that Vulkan was meant to show the Emperor's constitution and indominable will and fortitude, each Primarch represents a different aspect of their gene-father's personality.
