If you ask me they shouldn't even be on the team.
Superman and Zod have enough experience fighting super powered beings, it's not like Thor fights enemies of this caliber every day, he usually fights scrubs.

He didn't one-shot him before he hit him with lightning. A single hammer throw plowed through at least half a dozen frost giants. He cracked Tony in the chest and did some damage, but not enough to slow him down.
As for the amp, it amped his power reserves and his repulsors, and that seemed to be it. His armor didn't suddenly get more capable of taking a beating.

You're assuming both throws were of the same strength, besides taking hits better is durability not strength.
Tony definitely seemed to have pissed him off enough for the throws to be of comparable strength if not equal. But the hammer didn't punch a hole through Tony and a bunch of people behind him. It just knocked him down. And from the whole feel of the fight, Thor was clearly read to f*ck his shit up. He was ready to kill both Cap and Tony at the end.
Durability is what I was talking about. Tony was durable enough to take an extended beating from Thor, while he was one-shotting Frost giants. It doesn't make sense to assume Frost Giants who were clearly fodder are on the same level.
