Demons never been depowered. Yeah in first seasons the hunters had no information about them. Also the first demons we saw were more powerful than regular ones (Tommy and Meg). In time they found ways to kill them. It has become better I think but angels depowered so much. It is normal now because of the fall. Fall ruined them and it makes sense. Grigori and Archangels (I suppose) are in full strenght, rest of them are weakened much.
