I think Amon is just really strong willed. That usually is the case with main villains. While their henchman fall to some paralyzing attack, the villain is unfazed. Or maybe the spirits are with him.

I also had the idea that he absorbs bending. It could be that energybending simultaneously removes bending and absorbs it into the user. Of course, it would make no difference to the Avatar because he can already bend all 4 elements. If this is true and Amon succeeds, then he would be the only bender in the world and he'd have Avatar level powers and exercise absolute control over the world.

Or, he could be just taking people's bending away and trying to equalize the world as he says. Either way, I think it's pretty clear now that Amon is energybending and not using some chi blocking technique.
