A recton's not necessary because you can't concretely say that Supes WASN'T amped in the story. The only mention of a change in Supes powers came from Supes himself and all he said was that blue suns affect his powers differently because he didn't KNOW what all effects there were going to be. Later revelation's tell us that he WAS in fact amped at the time because it turns out that an amp is part of the effect on his abilities.
But there's nothing concrete their. In that story he never got any kind of amp. When Superman gets an amp the writer makes a clear indication.
Like when Kryptonians were exposed to orange suns they got amped to a lesser degree than with yellow suns etc etc. These things are always clearly indicated with Supes.
In that story the writer never establishes that the blue sun increased his power. So we can speculate, but with respect to facts we can't say he was amped with any authority.
Pa Kent one shotting Bizzaro DD just says that Bizzaro DD isn't as big a threat as the original DD who's had centuries worth of battles to toughen him up.

"Often", not always.
Bizzaro DD is vastly inexperienced compared to regular DD. And experience means everything when it comes to the kryptonian Doomsdays, because they were built to get tougher after every setback.
