Well, I think other than getting slammed through concrete walls, being run over by a train would take some leather skin but the best display of his durability is probably when he was able to absorb the force of a fast moving, several ton SUV without breaking stance.
To be fair though, he punched the nose of the SUV down to the ground and the ground + momentum did the rest. He didn't exactly stop the SUV's momentum with purely his own strength.

He didn't get run over by the train. It just skimmed his horns.
And yeah, it's clear durability and strength from the RFoD doesn't actually apply to Hellboy.
Selene on the other hand shoulder charged a van and sent it on it's merry way.

It doesn't matter where he punched it, he was still absorbing all the force from the SUV. The force and the mass of the SUV traveled through him and because he didn't move means it stopped with with him.

Hellboy was not absorbing all the force. He punched it down and it bounced up and over. Plus it was the Fist of Doom that did the work, which it's made to clear to us isn't a natural part of Hellboy's body and vastly stronger than he is.

Were those lycans given milder/diluted dosages of the Eve Serum? Otherwise it doesn't explain them dominating a super-vampire that has strength on the same scale as a hybrid.

That's the only real explanation, because yeah, she overpowered Marcus and he was strong enough to shoulder charge a deuce and a half off the road and yank a helicopter out of flight.
I understand that with Selene it's always been an emphasis on skill and speed, but even in Evolution we saw the full extent of her enhanced physical strength once she got juiced up on the Corvinus Blood.
