I wouldn't have a problem with saying Hiruzen rivals someone like Hashirama if we were shown content that proves his power. He was revived at a similar or the same age Orochimaru fought him in, so there is no way to be sure. And we haven't seen anything that god like from him other than using Enma to push Kurama out of the village during the Ninetails incident. I think he is more powerful than Tobirama (highballing) or an even level than Tobirama (lowballing) just based on what we have seen. Despite the databooks saying that Hiruzen is who he was, Kishimoto failed to show that in anyway and even contradicted that by saying Hashirama was the God of Shinobi and the strongest Hokage later down the line. But as it stands in my OPINION Hiruzen is capable of being Tobirama level who is just under NTCM Minato.
