He wasn't amped. He recovered his might by getting exposed to the sun, but its not like he was out in space getting the full unfiltered light that would amp him. Besides the piece of kryptonite in his ribs makes the whole "amp" very very ambiguous if not outright null. Not to mention Cavillman did something similar after the world engine was destroyed.

After yes when he woke up to the sunrise are you referring too?
So in that clip when he is in space being exposed to the unfiltered sun, thats not amping?
I am a firm believer that the sun amp overrides the kryponite based on he had no power when he arrived on the island and didn't get his power back until after he was exposed to direct sunlight even though he still had kryponite in his system. I'm standing behind this.

Clouds don't filter the sun, you can get a sunburn even on a cloudy day. You could call it an amp if he went to the sun or at least left the planet, but he didn't.
After pushing the island away from Earth, the sun was beaming on him and he was still koed. The sun played a factor but a small one. He was weakened to the point that he was unable to stand, so he needed a strength boost to perform the ft which is the reason he flew out of space to regain at least some of his strength (remember, he had a shard of kryptonite in him). The kryptonite from the Island while lifting it grew before he entered space. That ft is far better than the engine.

He flew above the clouds and we saw him amping, its undeniable. If he didn't need need to do it, he would not have done it.
As I stated, I'm not discrediting the feat, the sunlight is his power he used it fair and square.

But he wasn't amping. He was restoring some of his lost power. He probably couldn't even restore himself to 100% due to the kryptonite blade.
If the sun was amping him and the small mountain made of kryptonite he was holding had no effect on him, please explain why we see him in physical pain as the kryptonite grows near his face.
Also explain why he lost consciousness after hurling the island into space... if things are as you claim, the sun amping him would have prevented him from losing strength during the lift.

I don't think the small amount had any affect on him due to the amp. I do think the larger amount shown as he was finishing the lift obviously did have an effect as shown
Other then that, I can't explain it.

Except for the fact that he was lifting an island made in large % of, you know, kryptonite. Which means any strength he regained after Lois removed the kryptonite from his wound and then he flew above the clouds to recharge from the sun null and void.
Island feat was much more impressive than resisting a beam that crushed some cars and levelled a few buildings while weakened.
