Any valid Travelcard on adult rate Oyster card:
max fares are £4.20 Peak and £3.40 Off-Peak
They are equivalent to the through Z1-4 Oyster single fares

That doesn't seem to stack up with my off-peak fare from Vauxhall to
Putney being half what I paid last year (£1.70 full price day single
before, 85p on Oyster with Senior Railcard now). The only snag is a
small delay so I pass the barrier after 19:00 rather than put a bike
on a train only after that time.

Those are the PAYG 'entry charges' for a travelcard enabled Oyster
Card Colin, not the actual fares that would be charged after
eventual touch out.

That is how PAYG works normally - with a charge and refund .
