If the thread author meant anything other than that, he'd just say, "Magneto has the same strength as the Hulk", or, "Magneto has CL100 strength (which he doesn't need, since he already has CL100 strength)". So CLEARLY, he has Hulk's body, and I think the author's CLEAR intention is that Magneto gets stronger as he gets angrier, he's green, gamma-powered, etc. I see no reason why you'd argue otherwise, unless you're that much of a masochist.
But the author is free to clarify. As it stands, that's how I interpreted it.
Hulk blew up because it was a gamma bomb. Bombs have a habit of blowing stuff up. It took 25 years to piece himself back together, but the amount of radiation contained in the gamma bomb isn't something Magneto would be unable to emulate fairly quickly. Magneto isn't simulating the gamma bomb, he's simulating the amount of radiation released and giving a concentrated dose of it to himself.
So Maestro is proof that Hulk gets more powerful with radiation. It's also proof that Hulk goes crazy if he blows up in the process. If Hulk grows WEAKER with gamma radiation being taken from him, then it stands to reason he'd grow stronger with more gamma radiation being put in him.
I'm at the studio right now, so I don't have access to more research, but I'm sure there are more instances of him absorbing gamma and becoming stronger.
That point is ridiculous if the author had said Magneto had rogues powers i bet you wouldnt think Magneto would sprout a pair of **** would you? No. But to help your case you'll gladly interpret it the way you've described. As it stands until the author clarifies the situation Magneto has his body and powers as well as the hulks powers meaning superhuman strength that increases in correlation to adrenaline levels. Magneto pumping his body with radiation isnt going to result in Maestro im afraid as you've incorrectly stated. Its results in a long overdue reunion with Magda.

Thats ridiculous and you know it. Theinitial dose of radiation is what made him hulk. So it stands to reason that siphoning that power would make him weaker. However bombarding his body with more radiation wouldnt necessarily make him any stronger it could have a negative effect. You have no proof that Hulk has been empowered with additional gamma radiation before other than the poor maestro example, where time could have played a factor in allowing him to survive and become Maestro. It really woudlnt make much of the difference to hulk anyway whose strength increases geometrically with anger. So thats a lame power up. However its a power up that cant be argued until the body situation is clarified.
