Im in agreement with you here Salubri, I genuinely never expected to love this chapter this much. It's become common place for us all to take issue with the jumpis in Ichigo's power levels, but its when a chapter like this comes along that we can really sit back and say "I couldnt care less about the logic, this is awesome", im remembering why i loved Ichigo at the start again. I also agree with what you say about Aizen not having truly surpassed shinigami and hollow. This is how i look at it: Aizen has tried to force himself through an evolution using a scientific device(hogyoku) thus this evolution is unnatural and in a sense less real. However Ichigo's evolution is very much natural, its a process of his own inner power evolving and him grasping control of it himself without any devices to help him. This, I believe, is the difference between Ichigo and Aizens power.
