I honestly can't even remember where it was proven she was world destroying in the movie.
- Given that she has shown to disintegrate instantaneously anything just with her mind, what causes you to think otherwise?
- It is based on Dark Phoenix in the comics, which is a world-destroyer. Arguably, in the movie, there is no evidence she is as powerful as her comic counterpart. But there's also no proof against it. So again, what causes you to think otherwise?
- Charles said she would have been too powerful if he hadn't placed the mental blocks.
- Magneto further describes her as a goddess, and she can do anything she could think of.

When? Every time I remember seeing her do it it happens gradually.
Watched it again just then. Charles dies instantaneously. Several other similar cases in the final fight scene as well. Some get disintegrated almost instantaneously from head to toe.
- That proves she is capable of instantaneous disintegration.

He also usually receives much more damage at a much sudden rate. It's not gradual like hers.
Edit: Her disintergration attack at full power is not gradual as proven above.

Doesn't matter though. Hulk's taken a nuclear bomb, a force that is strong enough to instantly vaporize buildings, at it's strongest point, without being KO'd.
While the word gamma bomb definitely sounds impressive, there's no evidence to suggest that it's more powerful than Phoenix's disintegration. They both work differently I believe. Phoenix uses telekinesis to rip atoms of the body apart.
Also, just if anyone is interested - In a deleted scene in X3, Phoenix was shown to be able to manipulate matter at the atomic level, and used it to almost kill the rebel mutants at Magneto's camp. She rearranged a tin can into a substance (?) that was emitting large amounts of radiation and she was blasting the mutants with it/ Or it was passively damaging them, not sure.
This was right after Magneto said she could do anything she could think of, and she proves his point.
