  We explore the effects of driving a cavity at a large photon number in a
circuit-QED experiment where the ``matter-like'' part corresponds to an unique
Andreev level in a superconducting weak link. The three many-body states of the
weak link, corresponding to the occupation of the Andreev level by 0, 1 or 2
quasiparticles, lead to different cavity frequency shifts. We show how the
non-linearity inherited by the cavity from its coupling to the weak link
affects the state discrimination and the photon number calibration. Both
effects require treating the evolution of the driven system beyond the
dispersive limit. In addition, we observe how transition rates between the
circuit states (quantum and parity jumps) are affected by the microwave power,
and compare the measurements with a theory accounting for the ``dressing'' of
the Andreev states by the cavity.
