Morphology
The components 'big' (strong/important) and 'energy' (vibe, enthusiasm) do suggest a compositional reading of a strong or prominent 'vibe', but the slot 'dyke' is slang/reclaimed and carries culturally specific identity and attitudinal nuance. Because the phrase is contemporary slang requiring sociocultural knowledge of the reclaimed term and the 'X energy' internet template, a B1 learner who only knows the literal words would only partially infer the exact meaning.
Etymology
Big dyke energy may come from the phrase big dick energy, which described a quiet, strong confidence. People replaced dick with dyke as a proud, queer twist, so the phrase now means 'a confident, bold, and assertive presence'.
