However, it's a natural consequence of the way that balanced signals are usually derived: the single-ended signal is duplicated, but phase-inverted. The difference between these two out-of-phase components (which constitutes the overall signal) is of course twice the voltage of the original single-ended signal. And twice the voltage = 6.02dB greater.
