Announcing a power is no reason to discount it, either. He's announced before.
Cap's mixed and matched powers before, and there's no evidence he could only channel his powers one way.. Just because it says "Stamina of Atlas" in no way means that's the only way he can use it, or that said stamina doesn't also confer a strength boost.
In any event, you're the one doing most of the speculating, by arguing Cap somehow amps or gimps himself based on how he uses a power. Like you yourself said, Cap stalemated Superman for three hours in an arm wrestling competition, so I think it's safe to say they're on par in strength..

That's pretty much how most writers portray Adam vs either of them. 😄
I guess Superman can get a split if he doesn't hold back. Which, for the record, would be out of character for him.. And CIS is on by default.

Yeah, an amped Superman who had been gone for quite some time beating up Black Adam and then jobbing out to a rather small exposure to Kryptonite isn't all that impressive to me.
Clash = Superman is a dick.
"Why didn't you just take Caps advice and teleport in me, Atom, or someone that could have verified the whether the bomb was actually a bomb, instead of wasting all that time fighting him?"
"I had to save the city, Bruce."
"A bomb actually would have left more of the city intact.."
"But I thought..."
"That's the problem, Clark... That's the problem."

Don't play this game again jake. On panel cap needs amping to match kal's strength, yelling in pain in a handshake and he is suddenly equal in strength to him. He has no speed comparisons, no durability comparisons and we are supposed to think he is equal to superman, why? I can give you more reasons and statements to support that diana is equal or very close to superman in power, but feats prove otherwise. This is just a waste of time anyway, this isn't superman vs captain marvel and no matter if you think adam>cap or adam=cap, you can't super-impose cap's feats to adam like you can't that to thor and bill.
Amping as in what type of amping are you reffering to???

And? How's any of that relevant?
Because Superman was acting just like Black Adam, while Cap was still in character?
Superman slams a safe into Cap three times in a row so hard he compresses it! If he pulled that against a bad guy, it'd raise eyebrows. CIS was off, basically.

You can't beat the strength of Hercules and Atlas combined.
He can stack his powers and the way the Power of Shazam works, each attribute collerates and synches with the others. Further more, that is literally the one and only time Cap has ever had to call upon Atlas' strength rather than his stamina in order to match Superman in any kind of confrontation.
I think you're making that out to be more than what it is when it's clear Ordway's intent was to portray Cap and Superman as equals until the power splitting got involved.

And? It's still as valid as any other showing, considering he had to amp himself using zeus's lightning to catch superman's punch again while a weakened superman caught his punch and threw him away, it's pretty consistent among other showings. Compare
to
and tell me cap is equal to superman in strength.
