Without his armor Tony Stark possesses the normal strength of a normal human man his age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise. The various armors magnify Stark's strength to superhuman levels, enabling him to lift (press) from roughly several tons to 175 tons.
Originally, the armor converted electrical energy into raw strength through miniaturized, transistor-based electro-motors. After the development of sufficiently advanced electromagnetic force-fields, however, these became the means of providing strength as well as structural integrity. This more "organic", integrated approach proved very successful, and the Iron Man-armor is quite probably the most powerful individual armor in the world today.
