No pantheon was ever that tough. I doubt that even the Asgardians could have been that tough even in the Silver Age. Odin MIGHT have been that powerful when he was at his best.
The newgods and Ds are that powerful in their true forms, they are like children of the presence in a way, they use boom tubes to depower themselves and shrink themselves so they wont destroy everything from their power and size.
Superman when he used a boomtube and saw the newgods in their true forms was amazed, galaxies are like marbles to them, DS in his depowered state (not boomtubed) can move solar systems around with his mind as though they were nothing. Now imagine how strong DS is in his true form via boom tube, when galaxies are marbles to the newgods in their true form.
P.S. As for DS fighting Galactus in the xover (which isn't even cannon I think) he wasn't even in his true form, if he was DS would have been much MUCH bigger and different in size, shape, color, matter, etc. It likely was an avatar of DS seeing as of 2004 all of DS defeats were retconned to be avatars of his.
P.S.S. Do you think all that DS has is the OE? He normally as the ALE now, so its not even needed to be mentioned; going by forum rules characters have all their powers unless specifically stated otherwise. And aside from the OE and ALE he has many MANY powers, do not assume that because he has the OE And ALE that is all he has. The newgods in a way are much like the brothers to the promethian giants.
The Newgods have been shown in their trueform, multiple times, one was when Superman went through a boomtube and saw them in their true forms, they aren't even human in appearence (human like bodies are just shells to shrink them down from destroying everything with their power and size), galaxies were like marbles to them.
