I think Piccolo's feat should simply be Moon level. Probably going to get a lot of hate for this.
1. There's no actual evidence that the moon was sent across space, in fact the moon is intact when Piccolo's blast first hits it and later we see no fragments hurdling through space, suggesting it was vaporized. At a speed of 90 km/s, the fragments would clearly be visible from anywhere in the panel, even if it were pulverized, due to the sheer density of fragments and dust molecules. I've heard people online try to claim that the fragments around Gohan's feat are debris from the moon (even though they'd burn up), however the full colour version clearly shows they're from the mountai he destroyed.
2. The calc is based on flawed methods. Firstly, Piccolo in this scan is barely above a rock formatio that's only a few times larger than Gohan's Great Ape form. Even if you want to use this sca, even though it clearly contradicts later panels closer to the moon's destruction, the most you're going to get is roughtly 36.915 metres (see calc below), which inflates the calculation to 12 times baseline Planet level. Secondly, the calc itself is based off the rubble around Piccolo falling just as destroys the moon and "scatters it", but you can see here the rubble started falling before Piccolo even notices the moo.
Piccolo = 307 px / 2.26 m
Gohan = 121.61 px / 0.89523973941 m
Gohan = 24 px / 0.89523973941 m
Rock Formation = 164 px / 6.11747155263 m
Rock Formation = 81.65 px / 6.11747155263 m
Panel Height = 690 px
2*atan(tan(70/2 deg)*(81.65/690)) = 9.473175437327 degrees
Plugging these values into the Angular Size Calculator gets 36.915 m
3. Vegeta being Planet level was portrayed as a massive event, and planet-busting is still a huge benchmark in Dragon Ball in the fight between Goku and Frieza, which is further reiterated by Bird Stuido Guides (see here for why they're canon). Despite Cell and SS2 Gohan being nearly 50x baseline Solar System level, SS Goku and Gohan are about halfway to baseline Solar System level due to these same reasons. Also, the Galick Gun Vegeta fired was clearly much more powerful than himself, as it could directly match Kaioken x3 Goku. These Bird Stuido Guides confirm that power level of 10,000 is needed to destroy a planet, while Piccolo here was only at 329 with his weights.
