So I have a couple issues with Bob's premise.

1) His crappy CD can't even provide std line level
output cleanly.

In my experience Bob suffers from hysteria which
causes him to leap from faulty conclusion to faulty
conclusion (example given above).

What is the proper methodology for measuring
Vrms voltage from fixed RCA outputs on players?

EIA load, Test CD, reasonbly high impedance voltmeter with flat frequency
response.

Is there anything which would preclude Robert
from measuring it with a handheld volt meter
and test disk?

The FR of the handheld voltmeter is a potential source of errors. Some are
only designed to work well with line voltage and are already a few dB down
at the standard frequencies of 400 Hz or 1 KHz.
