First, Superman is technically a demi-god ala Hercules. He is a direct descendent of Rao, the kryptonian god. On top of that, Jor-EL made sure he was a peak specimen of Kryptonian psychology. Add to that the Eradicators "upgrade" of Superman after D.O.S., years of exposure and healing from his weaknesses (imagine it working like a vaccine) to strengthen him, and then on top of that training with the worlds best at things Kryptonians don't deal with (Bats, Satana, MM, WW for magic training, mind over body, and fighting skills), and years of solar energy storage to go the distance and you have someone that by far eclipses the avg being of his race.This should answer your question.
Plus there's the Time he absorbed the Mahgeddon Anti Sun, which had enough energy to take out half the galaxy. Also the various Sundips he has undertaken etc. The other Kryptonian's shouldn't be able to hold a finger to him. Althogh there are counter examples; like when he died in Obsidian Age, When he was fully de powered when he whent thru the red sun during Infinite Crisis.
Just in case someone wants to see the old topic:

Superman shows very nice resistance to Kryptonite attack
Now just how strong was it. Well, it keep Supergirl pretty much useless without getting it. Just by being held by the robot's hand
Furthermore, This is the interior of the Robot. A lot of Kryptonite. There was so much kryptonite that it was interfering with communications.
Now this is even more resistance. He survive inside the armor. Though, he does get affected. After all, Supergirl was inside and was barely walking, let alone trying to accomplish was Superman did

Measuring equipment in D.C. world is a lot more inferior to ours, seeing as ours can measure the temps given off by Supernova explosions, quasars, gamma ray bursts etc. These are energy out puts way beyond the capability of our sun - which the panel quotes as being the source of Superman's power ?

No, DC Earth technology is way more advanced than what we have IRL. This is consistently shown. They're just saying that Superman's HV is beyond what they can measure even with that,and they can measure the sun.
I was being a bit cynical, but any way:
There is no limit of the temps our current Instruments can read - you can even gather empirical data to estimate how hot the big bang was, and hypothetically anything hotter. 1.) If our instruments can hypothetically measure the temp of anything, and Superman is something then they would hypothetically be able to measure his heat vision. 2.)Superman cannot create heats, beyond the big bang, therefore he is wihin range of our measuring devices.
Therefore, this equals badly researched, crap writing !
