Your first set of results may just be the "Real" results.  A harmonic analysis produces a real and imaginary result and the maximum usually occurs at some phase angle to the real solution.  The "Amplitude" result is the SRSS of the real and imaginary solution and so is probably greater than your first result.  There's no .7071 scaling being done.
