I have beaten the Wall of Flesh but can't get to the loot, as I died from the lava just after. The Hardmode enemies are too difficult to kill and do so much damage that I can't get past them to reach the Underworld. Does anyone have any tips or ideas to help me get the loot? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Find a place where below you there's a lot of ground (ash) and hellstone (no buildings or anything where the imps can spawn on). Dig a tunnel (width 2) under you (block fireballs with a fast pickaxe) and mine until there are no visible places to spawn for imps, other than your own tunnel (which you can even fill with dirt).
Then it's easy to mine hellstone while blocking the fireballs of the few imps with your pickaxe (always face the enemy while mining). There won't be many imps since they don't have much space to spawn.
A stack of potions, magic mirror and any flail (for worms) should then be enough.
(I think the tunnel in the image is too wide, but hopefully this still makes it more clear)
In order to save your Jungle, you need to act quickly to contain it completely. Dig a gap that is at least four blocks wide surrounding the entire corruption. Note - on the bottom side, Corruption will send down hanging vines that will spread corruption, so you must also line the bottom with a non-corruptible material like Wood.
If it's not feasible to contain all the corruption this way, the best you can do is isolate some parts of the Jungle and Underground Jungle with a four-block wide border, so you have at least some jungle to work with until you get a Clentaminator and enough Green to cleanse the corruption - which will allow the Jungle to spread to those tiles again.

While the Pwnhammer is instrumental in getting easy access to hardmode ores, there is another way!
Crates can be fished from the water! These crates have a chance to contain hardmore ores, allowing you access to those more powerful armor and weapon pieces. Depending on if you're playing the PC, Console, or Mobile versions, your access to certain crates may be denied, as the Console and Mobile versions only have Wood, Iron, and Golden crates.
Better bait and better fishing rods will give you greater chances at obtaining crates from your fishing excursions. The Angler's quests will give you access to better rods and bait over time, but these can take some time to complete. Once you're better geared up, you can make your way down to the Underworld to get your WoF loot, and maybe even fight it a few more times.
