My last strength system didn't allocate any numerical limits, but described strength levels as 'potential lifting ability' aswell as the amount of energy the character can utilize to enhance strength.

In the same category, but lower down. He's yet to show limits, and he's widely regarded as stronger than Namor, whse at the top of level 7. (Heavy weights.)
Level 6 = Middle Weights - Around 100 tons
Level 7 = Heavy Weights - Far beyond 100 tons
Level 8 = Hevay Weight Inncalcuable -Can increase strength to Incaluable for short periods
Level 9 = Inncalcuable - Has yet to show limits
Level 10 = Immeasurable. - In exhaustible power source increasing strength
Juggernaut hasn't shown limits...Never had to make an effort...According to the comics I have and the Handbooks (4). Juggernaut hasn't shown his limits yet...
So...from "around 100 tons" we jump to "far beyond 100 tons" (?) to Incalculable/Immeasurable (??). Could we not delineate just a tad? This is what I was hoping to accomplish with my 2-cents worth.
Forsooth...
6. Heavy Weight = 100 - 1000 tons.
7. Kiloton level = a thousand to a near-million tons
8. Megaton level = a million to a near-billion tons
9. Gigaton level = billion tons or more; has yet to show limits
10. Immeasurable = inexhaustibly increasing strength
The ranges are broad and satisfies fans' desires for at least ballpark numbers/tonnage.
Well, can't blame me for trying.

Now I'm not familiar with all the characters you mentioned. In any event, I'm gonna base my estimates on 1) whatever they've actually lifted (from my own research I am fairly familiar with what certain objects weigh); and 2) how well their strength has matched up against opponents who have done some heavy lifting. Plus, I'll throw in a few characters of my own.
Immeasurable: Galactus, Celestials, Darkseid (not sure with him; maybe Gigaton Level).
Gigaton Level: Superman, Thor, Wonder Woman, Doomsday, Mangog, Orion.
Megaton Level: Juggernaut. I'm not making him Gigaton cuz much of his formidability comes from his invulnerability. Again, I'm not that familiar with him, but I don't believe he's done any kind of "mountain lifting." Also Grundy, though again I am not that familiar with him. He could be Kiloton Level.
Heavy Weight: Abomination.
IMO, even without using numbers, it would still be hard to rank certain characters, relative to each other, due to the broad range of strength depiction (eg, Grundy has fought Batman, and lost, and fought Superman).

Yeah it is because anyone who is listen can lift 100 tons can easily take on Superman Hulk or Doomsday or anybody by that strength level some stupid people like Golem 370
