That's why Brock was so much stronger than Parker. The symbiote gave Brock Peter's strength+amplifying his own bulk.
Carnage was stronger than Venom because, as offpsring, it was Spider-Man Strength+Brock Strength+(Kasady strength*Symbiote multiplier)
So, if this logic was followed through (and I guarantee you it hasn't been) right now the Venom symbiote should be as strong as Spider-Man, bodybuilder Eddy Brock, enhanced supervillain Mac Gargan, and army veteran Flash Thompson, along with augmenting the natural strength of whoever is using it
