But certainly I have the power to stop it with no booster. I stood on it REALLY hard when it hit the 'shelf' half way down. So hard in fact I worried I'd brake the pedal arm. It did nothing to stand harder on it.
It sounds like you are due for new rotors so I would use a crowbar or something like it to press the pistons back in. Should also detach the lines before doing so if it is the calipers.
