It was only when Merged Zamasu hits himself with Lightning of Absolution and gets the purple arm is when he becomes so powerful that Goku and Vegeta have to fuse to fight him (he even says "a weak god like me needs to get stronger", which is what he did). This as pointed out by Gowasu and the others right before Vegito even appears.
Gowasu only points out that Zamasu's mind and body were becoming unstable and that they'd need to hit him harder than before as their chance to beat him, and that's when Goku thinks of fusion, and the other characters have no dialogue saying that Zamasu got stronger, in fact, when they do see Light of Justice hitting Zamasu, they don't have any surprised grunts or anything, Vegeta just starts to wonder why Zamasu isn't healing, so how much stronger Zamasu got, or even if he really did, is pretty moot.
Also, both of Zamasu's beam struggles, the one against Trunks and Vegeta, and the other one against Goku, show him becoming really pissed and trying harder to kill them, but failing, and again, how much stronger he gets after that is moot.

SSJ Vegeta one is an oddly consistent inconsistency (Yes, I know how ridiculous this sounds lol), since base form Goku in Boo saga struggled to lift 40 tons, for whatever reason DB characters aren't supposed to have much physical strength, but that causes inconsistencies... Fusion Zamasu is shown that he has a Boo thing going on, that weaker characters can damage him, but he can just heal (Another example is when Goku, before perfecting Blue, managed to make a hole on him, and Zamasu just healed himself and kept beating him), SSJ2 Trunks was when the fusion was undone already and they were trying to force to stay fused, Gohan one makes no sense yeah, Kale isn't an inconsistency since she was shown to be really strong even in base form (As Freeza points out that her attacks hit harder than SS Caulifla's), and then Cabba says she's the "Legendary Saiyan", so she was already really strong to begin with, has a rare powerful transformation, and when she gets her ass kicked by the pride troopers, it's pointed out that she wasted too much power, if anything she remains consistent.
