I seriously, truly, verily doubt that any type of multiplier will be introduced in the actual show for Goku's new form. That's something the databooks or guidebooks mention.
But I'm not gonna say the numbers are completely meaningless and don't matter. They matter to some fans. Personally I don't care about trying to calculate power levels after that concept got dropped in the Freeza/Namek Saga. But I also agree with the notion that song lyrics aren't something to be taken too literally.

We are at core all mathematical beings and either consciously, or unconsciously we all crave for numbers wether we are aware of it or not. If i want to watch something for fun and for laughs, i rather watch family guy or south park, that stuff always cracks me up. Dragon ball is not the show for me to get a laugh out of (well maybe for the awesome charisma of Goku Black and Perfect Cell). But you get my point.
For people like me, Numbers are an absolute must. And our hunger must be satisfied. We can't have questions unanswered, we would be like dogs who never got their foods. It would haunt us for the rest of our lives.
Lol dude, speak for yourself. I major in mathematics and computer science in college and I don't care about numbers all that much particularly when it pertains to Dragon Ball due to the fact that they haven't proven to be reliable all of the time. Again, while I don't care about power levels as much as you supposedly claim we all do, I admit that sure, multipliers and all are interesting to me, but as already mentioned in the thread, there was that whole "SSG Goku is a 6, Beerus a 10 and Whis is 15" thing Toriyama said which doesn't make sense from what Super has shown us, then there was that thing Toriyama also said when he said the SS transformation is 10 times stronger than the normal state. But that seems to contradict KKx20 being x20 stronger. Some have tried to rectify that by saying Goku as a SS was 10x stronger than him in his normal state using KKx20. But that doesn't make a lot of sense either.
To further elucidate with the Kaioken, it's stated to double the speed, strength and power of the user. But KKx3 triples the user's strength. So what exactly does KKx2 do? The same as KK? Quadruples the user's power? But that contradicts KKx3 tripling the user's power. Numbers haven't necessarily proven themselves to be totally reliable in Dragon Ball. They've been approximations of power (however off those approximations have been) if anything.
And it's quite clear Super itself doesn't care too much about numbers either in the grand scheme of things. But anything can happen. I just doubt that this multiplier thing would actually be mentioned in the show personally.
