Try to get a hold of the course material for the Certificaat voor Nederlands als Vreemde Taal exam, which is C1. Higher level exams don't exist. There are some books on writing university reports you could try.

Other than that, try and see if the Taalunie has anything. I think you have a big problem with word choice as well so keep using native material and subscribe to online newsletters and use Blendle.

Assimil has a Perfectionnement du Néerlandais. I liked it a lot when I read it a few years ago.

I am still trying to get my hands on this and can't for the life of me find a copy of it anywhere let alone the accompanying audio.

De Boeck
The publishing house de Boeck has an interesting series of materials for the study of Dutch in a French base. Some of the course books include downloadable mp3 files. Here is the LINK: http://www.deboecksuperieur.com/collections/20189__23850/langues-etrangeres-neerlandais.html

Prisma
The publishing house Prisma has an interesting series of materials for the study of Dutch. Here is the LINK: http://www.prisma.nl/

DLI Dutch Intermediate Refresher
You are most likely already aware of the DLI Dutch Intermediate Refresher course that is available on the JLU.WBTRAIN website. Yes, the materials are old but, given the general lack of advanced materials for studying Dutch, they still are worth having a look at. Here is the LINK: https://jlu.wbtrain.com/sumtotal/language/DLI%20basic%20courses/Dutch/

Assimil La Pratique du Néerlandais
I have noticed that, occasionally, requests for Assimil La Pratique du Néerlandais surface on the HTLAL and on this forum. It's truly a shame that Assimil seems to have lost interest in this excellent course. Although the chances are slim of finding a copy, I will check with the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec and will advise further by PM.

Dutch Readers
The following recently-published Dutch readers start at about the intermediate level and take the student, rather rapidly, into advanced territory:
