I've thought about this for a while, regardless of Dragon Ball Z of being just a show:
When a Saiyan transforms into a SSJ, their power doesn't increase in amount but it increases in intensity. The intensity also makes the now SSJ much more powerful but also puts a drain on their body (which Goku stated that it does). The thing is that when they transform their bodies go through a change (increase in size, hair, etcetera) to better maintain this intensity.
SSJ2 and SSJ3 follow suit. The Saiyan's power intensifies rather than increase in amount and these forms are much hard to maintain due to the stress it places on the body.
Now this is to say that when a Sayain transforms into a SSJ that their bodies can only maintain that kind of stress for a given time until their body gives way to the stress and they passout. Now if they were to increase the amount of energy their body has, then they wouldn't have to worry about placing a lot of stress on their body since the body makes up for the power increase much like if you were weight-lifting in which your body mass increases to be able to withstand whatever weight you bench.
Unlike increasing the amount of energy they have, the Saiyan's body probably won't compensate for it as much as if they just increased the amount of energy they have.
USSJ - USSJ9,999 just increase the amount of power a Saiyan has rather than intensifies it which results in their bulked up appearance as their bodies compensate for the energy increase.
Whenever a Saiyan changes into a SSJ-SSJ3 they actually waste energy by intensifing it. Now, Goku and Gohan stayed as a SSJ so that their bodies will get used to the stress and it would become much more natural. That way whenever they need to transform into it, their bodies don't waste the energy needed to intensify their energy. So then that's when Vegeta states that they can use that energy they would otherwise waste to transform to make themselves stronger. Meaning that the energy that could be wasted in transforming wouldn't be wasted at all so therefore they would have more energy that intensifies.
That's how I think it works.
