Just had a thought Ichigo's Shinigami powers are represented by his inner Hollow that is also his Zanpakuto spirit maybe that could help explain his advanced growth rate. Because when a Hollow devors another Hollow they get stronger right. So maybe every time Ichigo kills a Hollow before it is sent to Soul Society or even damages a Hollow he gains a little bit more power from it because it is like he is devouring them.
