In one of the one-shots, he was crushing Bizarro over and over for practice, and by the end of that arc, Superman was matching Zod, under a red sun. While Zod was full powered under it.

Which is of course, yet another example of Superman stepping it up. 😉
I also agree about the stepping up thing but I think you all are taking it out of context. Superman ALWAYS hold back (on some occasions he let loose). When Superman pull crazy feats, I think of it as him basically using his full potential, not getting an amp from a outside source.
The zod fight, it could be used against superman or with him. In one instance we have Zod taking superman out in like 3 panels (blitzing him which broke his jaw), then we have supes whippin his ass (I always thought of supes as being zods superior due to fighting skills). Bizarro, he could be more powerful than supes but one thing I know for sure, supes is a better fighter than bizarro which could be the reason for supes better showing against zod.
Bizarro always have terrible showings, its just who he is, rhino junior but power wise, we havent seen a limit yet. Superman even questions his powers against bizarro and rely on plot devices to stop him.
