Yes, if you compare pre saboady Luffy to wano zoro. Luffy didn't have 'control' over CoC in his entire preskip. He has grown strong from pre saboady and hence he was able to knock out some warriors in amazon lily, then in marineford, nearly knocked out some vice admirals. All these times, Luffy didn't have 'control' but his CoC output is increased because his strength has grown.
