Goku not needing SSJ at all alone puts him in a whole other level. Goten blasts Vegeta while he's in base form, and still manages to at least cut him. Goten and Gohan even overwhelm Vegeta til he powers up to his max. Goku doesn't even have to. Goku took a pot shot protecting Pan, Vegeta was dominated by Gohan til he went SSJ.
If there was such a huge gap then Goku should've just tanked the blast?
Like I said, Vegeta wasn't anywhere near his full power, as he was trying not to hurt Goku's kids. All he has to do is power up to his full power and that's enough to KO Gohan and Goten, he's vastly superior to them.
Baby arc Goku can be stronger than Vegeta, but Base Goku stronger than SS Vegeta? Yeah, no.

Of course he's toying, but he's not holding back even more than he was against Vegeta. 17 just wants to let Goku hit him some more just cause? It's not like Goku's energy is worth that much in a lower level anyways.
What's to say he used the same level against everyone? Did Base Goten not outlast SS2 Gohan?
Let's go over the events of SS Goku vs. 17
- Goku hits 17 and he goes flying back
- 17 quickly recovers, and laughs off Goku's attack
- he spams blasts
- Goku flies to 17 and supposedly hits 17 again
- 17 pretends to be hurt by Goku's attack, when he actually just blocked it
- 17 says Goku's letting him down and that he can see through all of Goku's techniques
- 17 proceeds to kick the shit out of Goku, while Goku can't do anything
17 was clearly not taking him seriously.
