Not really. He was shown to push back Gyuki, suggesting a strength in a similar range. But gyuki used his massive size and tentacles to destroy a forest, and not even in the form he used against Gyuki was Suigetsu big enough to easily do the same. We don't know how easily he can mimic this feat against others, but Bee noted that because they were surrounded by water and that Suigetsu definitely had the advantage because of it.

So destroying a forest without a nearby lake would be difficult for Suigetsu. Doesn't change anything about the fact that he can considerably improve his strength and resilience with water, and that it's clearly a body enhancing technique.
