I don't know if there is such a threshold, if the two are even comparable. An elephant is about 100 times stronger than a human being, yet its skin is still punctured just as easily as a human's (fortunately, because it is bigger and has thicker skin, the bullet has proportionally less deadly effect).
Cavemen fought mammoths with spears.
Originally Luke Cage wasn't all that strong, but his main thing was that his skin was hard as steel. Spider-Man and Sunspot are both super strong, but not so much so that they repel bullets, for the first few years of his comics existence, Sunspot had to be very careful of projectiles, until he developed flame powers that melted bullets before they touched him (like the Human Torchs).
So, I think the two are related, but don't go hand-in-hand exactly. Colossus and Thing are both super strong and bullet proof, but an aspect of their powers is having an armored hide/form.

Yeah, that bullet-bracelets thing was a nice touch back in the 1940s, to distinguish her from Superman's durability. But post-crisis WW is just too powerful to warrant that kind of limited durability these days. She should just be wearing those bracelets for show.
But then, if you got rid of her deflecting bullets with bracelets, she wouldnt quite be WW anymore.
A perfect example of a character being "trapped" by an outdated convention.

They can get rid of her stupid "bullets can kill me but Superman will only bruise me" weakness and still keep her bracelets. Use it for more dangerous stuff like planet-busting blasts or something. Make them more powerful.

Or better yet make her bang them together and cause Di-ana to appear Mrs's Marvel !!! 😆

I've always heard about that force field thing but never seen it. What I have seen WW do, when she prepares for maximum conflict (eg, OWAW), is don her Eagle Armor, which gives her more armor protection, plus the wings enhance her flying ability (this according to that oversized WW handbook).
But having the bracelets deflect things like photon torpedos is a good idea. This way she could probably even do w/o that forcefield (which in my opinion, seems kinda contrived or plot-devicy anyway).
recently thor was ko'd by a bullet! (to MUCH controversy!) in the past bullets have harmed him as well and almost no one is stronger than thor.
re: flash v wonder woman. did anyone catch them mixing it up recently in jla classified? ww wonders how many times he could hit her and figures a million or maybe HUNDREDS of millions of times!!
damn, flash IS tough . . .
