[DC] If Superman gets his powers from the sun, how is he STRONGER than the sun?

At least he is in many of his iterations. I know physics is wonky in comics, but is there a reason that makes sense? Is he just inherently stronger than the sun but in order to unlock his true power he needs it? As is, is the sun just a key to his powers or the source of them? (And if it is the source then again, how is he stronger than it?)

One fan-theory is that sunlight isn't what directly powers him, but rather unlocks access to some other power source. An area the size of a person isn't enough to absorb sunlight to lift a car, let alone stop a train or any of the other increasingly huge displays of power.

This is backed up by the New 52 Superman being said to have the potential to have great psionic power, and of course Post-Crisis Superboy (Conner Kent, a human/Kryptonian hybrid clone) explicitly having limited telekinetic abilities.
