Is it safe to assume that most privately picked bourbons sold in stores are barrel strength, or do some have it diluted as well? Or are they labeled as both?

No, they don't have to be barrel strength. It would be labeled as such. And barrel strength doesn't always mean better. I do however like the idea of barrel strength for many of the good bottles, as I can add water to dilute it myself (making it whatever proof I want).
