Could be some kind of thing about solidified Aura versions of manifested damage energy.

Yang's damage energy manifests in increased strength, but Adam seems to manifest it into an actual energy-based attack, considering the ranged attacks he was using his Semblance for in V6 episodes 10 and 11:

The Schnees can manifest beings they have defeated as Aura constructs, so it doesn't seem too entirely far-fetched if Adam can manifest constructs of himself made of excess energy that his Semblance converted from damage.

To be honest, I believe that, the more energy he builds up from blocking damage, the more powerful things he can use that energy for. It would certainly explain why the same attack can have such a huge difference between merely cutting off Yang's arm and disintegrating an armored robot that Blake couldn't leave a scratch on.
