But it can be handled with much more tact than some series do it with.
Gurren Lagann did the same thing, but the sudden boosts in power level were done much more realistically, through the acquisition of a bigger robot. In series like Bleach and DBZ, they become more powerful as soon as they decide they need to be.

And in Wakfu, kind of.
But technically I wouldn't consider it an anime. The only similarity is the style, other than that, it's much more cartoon.
Also this new wordfilter makes me gigglesnort and I love it

Not really. In Dragon Ball, they become stronger because they train hard and long to become stronger, not by snapping their fingers. In Dragon Ball Z, the Saiyans become stronger by almost dying (and it doesn't magically heal them, looking at you Kubo) and through anger, because it's one of their races' properties. Contrary to Bleach, the Super Saiyan form isn't pulled off the author's booty since they talk about it earlier.
Even then, acceding to another state of Super Saiyan is not just "lol I wanna be strong" or "I'm gonna fight myself in my head", to become SS2 you need to voluntarily let anger control you and it requires a shitload of willpower (or training, since Goku & co can later pull it off without getting too overwhelmed by their anger). SS3 is also reached by more training since it consumes insane amounts of energy. Piccolo becomes stronger by syncing and fusionning with people of his race. Freezer doesn't become stronger, he simply removes the limits he imposed on himself in order to not destroy the worlds he's trying to conquer. Cell becomes stronger by assimilating people, and so does Boo (even though, arguably, assimilating people only gives him more techniques). Little Boo is the strongest of all Boos because Vegeta removed the only "good" part of him, letting his raw power run free.
In Bleach you gain power because you have it already but your soul, that is also your sword, basically says "nope, not gonna let you access your power because I want you to fight me in your imagination" while your friends are dying and stuff.

In order to get stronger you just need to attach more weapons to yourself.
Foolproof.

Summary of bleach:
In every battle the main character nearly dies then at the last moment gets a power up and wins.
Boob jokes.

A summary of yu gi oh. A GOOD ONE.
yu gi oh is a show where they walk around dueling and having sex.
The dueling is a lot better then the having sex. I mean sireously, do they expect to have sex with one freind and then move on to the next? Sireously.
