No, the bet in front of you isn't necessarily a strength display.  It's a bet designed to push out the flush or straight draws by denying them their odds, but a straight and flush draw has more than enough outs to call.
 
Also, exactly what do you think the raiser has here to be scared of it?  Is he really likely to be holding 9T for a higher straight draw after a 3x raise preflop?  Similarly a flush draw (other than AKs) is unlikely after the preflop raise and strong bet on the flop - a strong flush draw would be wanting callers to build the pot, although he might be happy to steal the pot if he feels he can.
 
AKs is a possibility based on the preflop play, but very unlikely with that bet on the flop.  On the flop AKs becomes TPTK with the nut flush draw, he'd be betting small for value here trying to keep you both in, not trying to push you out.
 
I don't see your opponent holding anything other than a high A, or TT+ here.  Both of you checked to him so it's unlikely you hold an A, but either of you could have the flush or straight draw.  He'll be betting like this with any pair or any A to drive you out of the pot.
 
I'd call or raise here every time, and do whichever one I feel is likely to get him to commit the most chips to the pot.  You're a huge favourite to his likely holdings and there's a good chance you could take his stack if he's got a strong A.
 
In short, you may not have a made hand now, but you're probably favourite to win by the river.  Get as many chips out of him as you can.
