So why is Hashirama that much stronger? because Hashirama was actually a capable ninja from the start. Naruto's capabilities as a Transmigrant lag years if not decades behind Hashirama, but the Boruto movie basically confirms that Naruto and Sasuke's powers are equivalent if not beyond Kaguya's, so he's definitely surpassed Hashirama Indeed Naruto far surpassed Hashirama when he got the BS powerups from Hagoromo. I'm just disappointed that as the main character in the series, Naruto rarely got the chance to shine on his own.
