Yeah. The entire JSA backing Superman and an alt U Superman. Then Steel took his suit off which drastically lessens his powers. And even then let's say the full suit puts him at 0%. He only took the top half off, so he was still held back by the bottom half. At 50% of his power he took down Gog.
Lessens is powers? Like his durability/strength? I thought it amped him.
No, it's a containment suit to keep the environment and bad guys safe from Steel, so he doesn't murder all of them with a punch. The suit is made from the same material used on space ships and has to be melted and put on in a mold. It weakens him because without it he can't control his strength and would be wrecking the city just by walking around.
It puts about 280,000lbs per square inch of pressure on him. So ripping half of it off took half of that dampening effect away.

On that note, CS shredding/crumpling his suit like cheap toilet paper is an extremely uber strength feat in its own right:

As was mentioned, CS not only tanked a punch from Gog(the JSA-wrecker), but he tooled him with a single shot:

...Not even Source-amped Infinity Man was able to tool Gog in an equal amount of time.
And finally: after removing his armor, CS was able to down Gog(the God,) with a mere two punches:

Not even the combined efforts of the entire JSA (inc. KC Superman, Alan Scott, Obsidian, Thunderbolt, etc) were able to come close to doing that:
