About 以上に
Like other structures that include 以上 'beyond', 以上に highlights that (A) is beyond some specific extent. In this grammar pattern, the case marking particleに will indicate the word that 以上に is attached to as an amount.
With (A) being considered as 'beyond' something, 以上に can be translated as 'more than (A)', or 'even more than (A)'.以上に may be used after verbs, い-Adjectives, な-Adjectives, or nouns in their standard forms.
Occasionally, に may be replaced by の when a specific amount or quantity is being indicated with a second noun. The noun attached to の may not always obviously be an 'amount', but it is something that the speaker is 'measuring' in regard to (A).
