In the scans Thanos himself said that the amount of energy Surfer absorbed were past his limits, to the point where he not just loses his mind, but was on the brink of self-destruction. IOW Surfer absorbed so much energy he could've "exploded" and caused "self-destruction."
Becoming an energy sponge, engorging yourself with energy to the point where you lose your mind, to the point where you're about to exlode and kill yourself doesn't sound like a straightforward amp in my opinion.
It's an "amp" only in the sense that he had a sh*t load of energy stored in him like an overfilled water balloon about to explode, but it obviously had huge deficits too, like making him lose his mind, and the potential for self-destruction.
And why would Surfer need to destroy a moon by ramming it? He's destroyed a moon as a side effect of his battle with Morg. He's destroyed planets much larger than moons with energy blasts.
