It's possible, however, that Enterprise is at TL8^, which puts TOS/TAS at 9^ and TNG onward at TL10^; I don't recall what form the energy weapons in Enterprise took, or if they were Human or Vulcan tech to begin with. The key, of course, is the ^; warp drive, artificial gravity, and contragravity are the main superscience advancements available in Enterprise, along with the electro-plasma conduits (the main reason consoles explode!), and then a healthy dose of more refined TL10^ Vulcan, Andorian, and Tellarite technology at the formation of the Federation to bring the Humans up to speed.

AIR about all the energy weapons beyond lasers were superscience even in
Enterprise. As mentioned on the GURPSwiki page you do have that Hibernation Chamber which is
TL9 in the 1990s So, unless WWIII (when it happened is a total mess - originally it was the early 1990s) really pounded the TL there was
some TL9 stuff around for the
Enterprise era even if was effectively "dead end" technology.
More over the TOS Federation does not have TL9 stuff like Androids or normal Brain Transplants. Personally I think TNG is more one the TL9^-10^ boundary as there really isn't that much
non-superscience TL10 to be seen.
