So I want to build a computer with these specs:

Motherboard: ASRock Fm2+ Mini-ITX A88X
CPU: Amd a10 7850k
Ram: Amd Radeon R9 8gb 2400mhz
Storage: Seagate SSHD 1tb 2.5inch
Power Supply: 160w picoPSU
Case: Morex 557 Mini-ITX

The recommended AC adapter power supply is only rated at 72 watts, but I need at least 150w to be able to run this build with no problems.. The picoPSU uses a 5mm by 2.5mm barrel power jack. I cant seem to find any AC power supplies that will provide enough wattage under these parameters. I will not use any power supply that will require me to use a different case.. Are there any adapters from other laptop power supplies that can fit my picoPSU plug?

You don't need anything strange. Mini-Box (who make the PicoPSU) carries a DC adapter that works correctly for $50 at:

http://www.mini-box.com/12v-16A-AC-DC-Power-Adapter

The model number is STD-12160 and it should run that as it handles up to 192 watts. It even comes with a plug adapter to connect it to the PicoPSU (instead of the barrel adapter).

That DC power adapter is also available from Ebay and Amazon (if you prefer to order from them instead of the manufacturer).

Of course, mounting the plug end used by this to that case may be challenging (you might have to use a Dremel tool to cut a large enough hole).
