There are a few ways to look at the first one, the negative extreme opposite of a henpecked husband may be a "Brute".
A more positive opposite might be called " Diplomatic" or "Head of the House".

1. "dishrag," "doormat"
2. "male chauvinism," "patriarchy"
The fact that there aren't similarly pejorative words for the male equivalents of your terms seems to indicate that male dominance is still seen by English-speakers at some deep level as "the way it ought to be."
