This is just speculation, but I believe he is saying that he is the equivalent to Mozart's composer skills when he plays Card Wars. Mozart's name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. He is widely known for being an amazing composer. When Finn tells Beemo that he is a "super Amadeus," he is saying that he is excellent and amazing at Card Wars and is comparable to Mozart's skills as a composer. This expression is not very common. Most people would say that they are great, amazing or good at something. Saying "super Amadeus" may have just been the writers' way of emphasizing Finn's Card Wars skills.
