Vegito not being as strong was true at the time, but keep in mind everyone base levels have risen dramatically since the first arc of Super.
Cabba (who is weaker then Caulifla) was on par with base Vegeta in the U6 arc, which puts him above final form Frieza during return of F in his base form.
That logic alone makes Caulifla more powerful in base then almost anyone during Z with the possible exception of fused characters like Buuhan and Vegito.
Of course her power is dramatically higher when she enters SS/SS2. On top of that she is rapidly picking up her fighting skill/mastery of SS2 while fighting Goku. Last episode was basically her development speed vs Goku's recovery speed.
This isn't even taking Kale into account who was actually matching SSG to some degree.
The fight itself clearly demonstrated that Caulifla (SS2) can't keep up with SSG, but Kale (LSSJ) could.
It makes sense that their fusion would be solidly above SSG even in base, the earring fusion has always been really OP, just think of base Vegito vs Buuhan.
