Exaggerating the stimulus is also seen as amplifying the stimulus. This is seen in outer ear hair cells.
The mechanism you refer to is probably a positive feedback mechanism: more of the stimulus causes more of the stimulus. This is in contrast to a negative feedback mechanism, whereby more stimulus results in processes that strive to attenuate (lessen) that stimulus.
