I don't think Amon is an energybender but I also don't think he is using advanced chiblocking. The way I see it is like this (warning the following is just speculation I know this so please don't ask for proof because I can't provide you with any)

Chiblocking physically blocks a persons bending ability while Energybending not only physically but also spiritually blocks a person from bending, this makes the effects of energybending permanent. I think what Amon is doing is only blocking the spiritual side because that is what the spirits taught him (yes I believe Amon's story don't yell at me conspiricy theorists). Now we know that the world is becoming less spiritual this makes the effects of spirit block permanent instead of needing both the spiritual and physical block that is associated with energybending.
