In average I think most modern vampire media uses a factor of 5-10 or so although they seem to often break their own canon on such things by displaying baby vamps doing very tough things, but you wont hear me complaining about such things.
The oldest things I can remember using the super strong (female) vamps are from the 80s so it isn't that new of a trend though.

Though we have stuff like Vampyre, the real modern vampire is defined by dracula. And i would argue its less that hes 10 x or 1000x times...hes more as the situations warants. As some one who writes these stories can tell you...super strength is a power that is actually kind of tricky to do-hey hes lifting a car, or a bending bars...but well when do you need that skill? Strength tends not to be draculas big power-its flight, its control of animals its claws-its other stuff. Its his M.O
This is further emphasised-that almost al female l vampires are presented as seductresses-they use there femine whiles, or magically enduced femine whiles more then there strength. However going back to stuff like Draculas Daughter its always suggested thats kind of what they do-they could toss cars around if you need, or fight and kill people-but well its easier to kiss them instead. Many male vampires do the same-but well this is where we get the term vamp.
However in recent years you see a bit of this changing-i think the train started off with stuff like innocent blood, but then you got Movies Like Razor Blade Smiles, The Underworld movies etc-Even stuff like twilight more then you give them credit do show stuff like this off. I would argue to a degree that your more often see female vampires as badasses today. However when its done they tend to be kind of quick agile fighters then bruisers-but well agian. Thats the Vampire M.O.

The Vampires is obsessed by blood ( i writte just about women because is the site) a femals vampire in the the Golden age feel agiles , seductress but not really intelligents ( the proof never she anticipated a guy a possibility to trap her? after millenium or centuries of existence she continue to fall in the trap of Crucifix, Holy Water etc.Never she learn?)
Conclusion .Before Seventeen the Women Vampires have not Supertrenght and After yes .is this is an enigma for me.

I prefers the old hammer movies with Cushing and Lee .By nature Vampires prefers seduction or Terrors and have félines attitude (I my memory is good the fisrt Woman Vampire with superstrenght is present in the Kolchak the Night Stalker Serie) She throathlift a guy. For whats sudenly the guy of cinema and series decided to inclure superstrenght for femals vampires? Is a mistery for me . I agree with You vampires have other capacity for capture theirs evantual victims.

Like any myth, story and other fictional cnstruct the representation of vampires varied wildly over time sometimes in a rather incoherent way. Just for the sake of example Dracula's trademark high collar cape wasn't part of the original character design, it was introduced as a theatre prop to make the scenes where the count transformed and disappeared easier to make (the actor would simply turn around while in dim light and the cape would hide him completly).
The subject of vampiric strength is a rather varied one, while Stocker implied a level of superhuman strength in his book, the effective extent was never clear. Over time as the figure of the vampire become more "solid" and evelved from being an enigmatic monster from ancient times into a more corporeal threat this aspect was accentuated.
