amplifiable

Able to increase

Amplifiable describes something capable of being amplified—made louder, stronger, or more intense.

The term appears most often in technical contexts: an amplifiable signal can be boosted by electronic equipment, and amplifiable DNA can be copied and multiplied through laboratory processes.

More broadly, anything that can be increased or expanded in scope might be called amplifiable: The controversy proved highly amplifiable on social media.
