Going by all Current Canon.

The Marvel Universe is a Universe that is equal parts Magic and Science--Which is to say, things that obey physics and things that just do whatever they want. There is overlap--there's supposedly an underlying "science" to all "magic" and some things have a little of both.

Within some but not all humans is a "Gamma Gene," a byproduct from the celestial experiments that created mutants(and to a lesser extent all other non-god or alien superhumans.) If you have the Gamma Gene and get exposed to Gamma Rays, you become a Gamma Ray Mutate. Otherwise, radiation sickness.

Gamma Radiation in, in real life, has two forms--one where it's a particle and one where it's a wave. In the Marvel Universe, there's a third form(discovered by Brian Banner, the Hulk's abusive, sociopathic father,) and while what this form is, besides some kind of energy, isn't described we know that this third form is "magic" not "science" and it's the third form that is in the bodies of Gamma Ray Mutates. It's also

The Powers of a Gamma Ray Mutate are influenced by their personality, emotions, and psychological hangups--Whether its to embody them, like the Hulk(Bruce Banner has both severe uncontrollable anger issues and dissociative identity disorder. Banner doesn't become the Hulk, one of his alters becomes dominant and they get a portion of the Hulk's power,) exaggerate it(In the comics, Abomination looks like the Creature From Black Lagoon with powers to match because deep down this guy believes he's a monster) or correct them in a way that may or may not be ironic(Samuel Sterns is mildly mentally handicapped and learning disabled on top of that, leading him to drop out and become a janitor which he was bitter about. As The Leader, he's one of the smartest people in the world and a powerful psychic but he's also rather deformed and he has to wear a steel neckbrace or his neck will break from the weight of his mighty brain.)

Jen's mostly mentally stable, so she gets to transform at will and only gets a slight personality adjustment--Jen's biggest issues are a lack of confidence in her looks and a bit of sexual repression, so She-Hulk is confident and owns her sexuality(Jen actually became a bit concerned about this at one point when she realized that "Jennifer Walters" has only had sex with two people but "She-Hulk" has slept with over a thousand that she remembers.)

So usually, Jenny's power set is "less powerful version of the hulk." She also has fourth wall breaking powers, but she hasn't used them in a while and now Gwen Pool has powers like that so I doubt that those will ever come up again unless the current Avengers do a crossover with the current West Coast Avengers(And even then, Gwen has stated that she didn't read any Deadpool comics because, ironically enough, she doesn't like characters that are 'lol memes' so it's unlikely that she's read the She-Hulk comics where Jen demonstrated those powers so she's not gonna bring it up)

Actually, a bit of interesting Trivia: While Jen's strength was lower than the Hulk's, and she only got a small boost from fear or anger, her base strength in she-hulk form is a multiplyer, not a flat PL.

Hulk has a certain base strength--it's different for each personality--that doesn't change, in addition to that, Hulk has a connection to a dimension of infinite mass and energy which among other things gives the Hulk "Absolute strength." It's not that the Hulk gets stronger the angrier he gets, it's that the hulk is inifntly strong but most personalities have conscious, subconscious, and inherent limitations that prevent him from accessing that full strength(Notably, the Savage Hulk, the childlike and somewhat innocent "Hulk Smash Puny X, Hulk Strongest There is" personality, instinctively goes out of his way to avoid killing.) Anything that would enhance the Hulk's base strength before tapping into the "infinte" strength short of absorbing additional gamma rays will be gone the next time he changes unless he deviates and forms a new persona before reverting to banner(Exposure to massive amounts of Gamma Radiation and Dark Magic makes The Green Scar far more powerful than the Savage Hulk at base, which combined with his ability to focus his anger and greater control over his powers...)

she-Hulk, meanwhile, has a level of power that is derived from Jen's. If Jen gets bigger, faster, stronger in human form, then She-Hulk gets exponentially bigger, stronger, and faster. She-Hulk can also do training in that form and while the gains won't carry over to Jen, they'll be there when Jen turns into She-Hulk again.

Jen went from being half as strong as the Thing to being his equal by doing dedicated weight training in both forms, during her time as a temporary member of the Fantastic Four.

However, in the last couple of years, Bruce was in a very bad place, culminated with him essentially arranging his own death--He gave Hawkeye a specially designed arrow that would neutralize the Hulk's powers and pierce through his flesh and blood and told Hawkeye to use it if it ever looked like banner had lost control of the hulk.

Then Civil war II happened--Jen got beat into a coma and when she woke up, she found out that her friend Clint Barton had killed er cousin Bruce--An Inhuman precog had a vision of a seemingly mindless Hulk rampaging through New York and fighting heroes with intent to kill, various heroes, confronted Bruce, the situation escalated, and Hawkeye panicked and the anti-hulk Arrow went into bruce's brain(Bruce is back now. He's perfectly okay with Clint but the current Hulk is understandably pissed that Clint went along with Bruce's mercy kill plan instead of telling the Avengers to put Bruce on Suicide Watch.)

This put Jen in a bad place--with both Hawkeye and Bruce being major Triggers for her, and these issues turned her hulk Form into a Hulking Grey brute instead of a hot green Amazon. Even the slightest reminder of what happened would trigger a painful transformation into a dumb brute.

She eventually got these issues mostly back under control... but then a bunch of 500 ft tall cosmic gods fell out of the sky. One of these dying Celestials gave it's power to Jen, the cosmic energy changing to Gama Rays as it entered her System, and turbocharging her powers.

Her base level of power is greater than the Green Scar was at World Breaker. IT's unknown how much of a boost she gets from fear and anger, but it's known that she can now generate heat and radiation and use it to augment her blows(though she accidentally nuked a Russian prison while trying to burn off Vampire Rats that were biting her in the most recent issue of Avengers... Luckily, everyone, there was already dead from vampires by then.)

However... she gets stupid when she hulks out.
Jen: "Hulk Smash!"
Carol: "Jen, we talked about this."
Jen: "Jen Walters Smash!"
Carol: "Better"
The implication is that the loss of intelligence is lingering side effects of the issues that came up from Bruce's death--she's been getting better over time and notably she briefly got a lot worse when the Avengers confronted Bruce (they were forced to or Sasquatch would have been executed for crimes he didn't commit, because Ross's replacement in the Hulk Task Force is an even bigger jackass than Ross ever was) and Jen lost her temper when she talked about how badly Bruce's loved ones were hurt by his "kill me" plan.

Note: Jen might be stronger than the Green Scar now, but the Immortal Hulk is stronger still by a wide margin. As the original persona, the one that hasn't been seen since the early Lee-Kirby era, the Devil Hulk has access to all of the Hulk's powers. When the confrontation turned violent, the Avengers all got their collective asses kicked and they had to evacuate a nearby town and essentially Nuke it with a Kill Sat to temporarily stop the hulk.

Carol's really pissed about that. She doesn't much like the Hulk Task Force right now and after getting Sasquatch back formed a division of Alpha Flight dedicated to both monitoring the Hulk without picking fights with him and screwing over the Hulk Taskforce, because as the Boss of Space she's more than capable of doing all of that.
