Circe's got quite a few impressive showings. Post-IC, she stole the power of most of the gods. Phil Jimenez's run, turned most of the male heroes into animals.

Well, I'm less familiar with her. Examples?
Prep wise, she took over the Earth thanks to the Twilight Sword and made mind slaves out of the Avengers and was really only stopped due to Scarlet Witch and her chaos magic plot device/deus ex machina powers.
In terms of a direct battle, she was more than a match for the Dark Avengers and Doom.

Still, that's with the Twilight Sword, a majorly powerful artifact. Circe didn't need a power boost to do her stuff.

It's not like the DA aside from Sentry are much threat- Circe could certainly beat the majority of the DA team with purely her physical powers.

Circe, as she's typically been portrayed as, isn't powerful enough on her own to take over the world, remold it into a Medieval setting, and mentally enslave virtually every single Avenger.
Morgan one shot killed Sentry before he revived himself. And even came back from death herself due to time travel magics.

But Morgan isn't without the Twilight sword either, is she? I mean, that's a massively powerful artifact, it'd be like giving the Circe the Spear of Destiny.

Right, which is my point.
In a prep confrontation, both people can and likely will seek out artifacts to help them win.

There's 'prep' and then there's 'gets artifacts who's power dwarfs their own, and who they normally can't get even with a month.'
Which is entirely valid for "prep", especially if it's in character for said being. She's used Norn Stones and other relics before to augment her already formidable sorcery.
