Well, here's the closest, I've found to a true "intensive" perfect in Rijksbaron's conception in the Koine (though I'm not looking extensively, I just came across it in the midst of research):
In this case, διψάω does not normally form a perfect at all, which suggests that it perhaps isn't merely σφόδρα only that causes the intensive sense.
