^That award means that they took part in defeating an SS rated ghoul, not that they did it by themselves. Otherwise, the dragon award would be reserved for Arima alone. Kuroiwa ahving the strength to defeat SS rated ghouls by himself, I don't know where you heard that. Juuzo barely survived his fight with Ayato because Ayato only focused on ranged combat an Juuzo is extremely acrobatic; if he had had his quinque, it wouldn't have made a difference because he wouldn't be able to land a strike on Ayato. Ui is a prodigy, and probably the strongest Special Class outside of Arima, he could probably hold his own against a low SS rated ghoul by himself. However, when did he fight Yoshimura by himself? If you talk about Eto, she simply tossed him around like a ragdol. Also, Koma was an SS based on his influence, not his fighting ability, but he was still stronger that Mougan; as I once heard, Mougan defeating Koma was like Kuzuki defeating Saber in Fate/Stay Night: it consisted on a one time trick that wouldn't have worked if the opponent knew about it.

Seriously now, these criteria of rating was provided by Ishida-sensei himself. And if you think about it, it makes complete sense. You must not forget that ghouls are physically superior in everyway to humans. The fact that the best humans can match an S rated ghoul by themselves should be commended. But SS on is just too much for what the human body can possibly handle.
