For the total integrated energy to be conserved, energy will have to be
created in certain directions to compensate for the loss in other
directions. So in a direction in which the condition is met, the total
will have to be more than the sum of the waves in that direction.

How about considering the possibility that all photons coming into the
sample are diffracted -- just in different directions. So that what is
happening is not constructive and destructive interference but a kind
sorting of the photons based on a certain property of the photons, maybe
the phase.
