Matthias:

A combination of MapThread and Transpose does what you want.  See below

In[3]:=
mat = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}}
powers = {r, s, t}
In[5]:=
MapThread[Power[#1, #2] &, {Transpose[mat + 1], powers}] // Transpose
Out[5]=
{{(1 + a)^r, (1 + b)^s, (1 + c)^t}, {(1 + d)^r, (1 + e)^s,
   (1 + f)^t}, {(1 + g)^r, (1 + h)^s, (1 + i)^t}}
