If we exclude Naruto, Hiruzen is the 2nd strongest Hokage by hype. Orochimaru definitely didn't surpass Hiruzen in a natural manner. He might be more powerful than Prime Hiruzen now, thanks to more than 40+ years of research, as well as him acquiring Hashirama's magic cells during the War. But we don't know that he finally surpassed Hiruzen for sure. Tsunade definitely isn't stronger than Prime Hiruzen. So I fail to see the younger generation surpassing the old. At the end of the day, the younger generation nonsense has clearly been retconned. Now Naruto is all about "fuck the shinobi world, only Indra and Asura's avatars matter!"
