Hans,

lumpi[{f_, amp_}] := {f, Power[2 Pi f, 2] U / amp};

thelist = 
    Table[ToExpression[
        "{x" <> ToString[k] <> ", y" <> ToString[k] <> "}"], {k, 5}];

The following expressions are equivalent

lumpi /@ thelist == 
  ({#1[[1]], (2*Pi*#1[[1]])^2*U/#1[[2]]} & ) /@ thelist == 
  (thelist /. {x_, y_} :> {x, (2*Pi*x)^2*U/y}) == 
  Cases[thelist, {x_, y_} :> {x, (2*Pi*x)^2*U/y}] == 
  MapThread[{#1, (2*Pi*#1)^2*U/#2} & , Transpose[thelist]]

True

However, I don't think they are any easier nor are they any easier to 
understand.
