Now I've understood better your problem.
The question is not on the simulator, but on what you're looking for.
Usually in differential amplifiers, if you're interested in differential signal only, you must use input/output baluns with proper impedance ratio.
In this way you'll have only one input port (you can set dc port instead of sine in line

You can using command :
spectrespp *.sp
directly, and spectre will create a file *.mdl to transform spice .measure and run, the rusult output file styled *.measure. But it seems just work for tran, ac, and dc analysis, not ready for pss and pac..(or there's newer version released?)

Why 100-500 harmonics?? Normally 10-20 harmonic numbers are enough whichever frequency you work on....( except mixers but also with them 100 is too much)
If it's so, I think fourier transformation in pss should mathemetically be wrong approximated.
But of course , it has a certain limit...

in pss, the beat frequency should be accuracy and also need a large harmonic sideband number. When you display the result make sure you look at the right harmonic for the fundament frequency. You can reference the manual : spectre RF user guide , there is a detail simulation case for LNA.
Hope it helps

pss+pnoise approach is commonly used, especially for case like VCO design. However, sometimes it take days to find the correct convergence condition, and the result is meanful only if you cross-check it with actual test result.

PXF analysis is intended to give an indication of different gain vs product indexes, while pss is the most accurate one.
For example you can use PXF to see if there is image rejection or if you want to know how large can be an unwanted output frequency out of the non linear circuit under evaluation.

Hi
In spectre you have the Noise analyses - you have to place a port on the input and sweep a variable (probably frequency in your case).
You can also do this by runing a pss analyses - this is more complex and you can apply 2 tones on the input.
You should be able to find tutorials and examples in Cadence Help!
