You are looking for direct affirmation/report that's exactly what happened. For whatever reason, perhaps because this is supposed to be an argument, you are unconcerned with what evidence suggests so. Taken to one extreme, you're asking Bucky to say, "Cap you beat Red Skull physically" and without that pandering statement, Cap knocking Red Skull out isn't evidence itself of that conclusion.
But instead of taking to extremes, let's look at the entire scene:
Fact: Hulk literally panders to Bob and the audience that you're not supposed to let the power take you over and allow that to define you, you have to choose.
Fact: Hulk wasn't completely burnt out from accessing his gamma energies because right after he "burnt out," he got angry again, and he instantaneously harnessed enough energy to reach a power level that surpassed what he was just two pages before.
So what's the most likely explanation that bridges the gap between Hulk reverting to Banner in one instance and then immediately going Worldbreaker-levels not a minute later?
Choice.
It literally was the moral of the story. Which is one of those repetitively tired themes that even applies to Reynolds himself who powered up to Void-levels or down to death out of choice.
