COMMENTS
Prime powers p^e where p is a prime and e >= 2 (A246547) form a subsequence.
For numbers whose prime factors set is {p_1, p_2, ..., p_r}, there exists a minimal element u such that k is a term iff k >= u. This smallest element u satisfies p_1*p_2*...*p_r < u <= (p_1*p_2*...*p_r)^2. These minimal elements are in A339794.
Table with percentage of terms <= 10^k for k = 1, 2, ..., 8, 9 (first rows coming from b-file):

The percentage of terms decreases as 10^k increases, and a plausible conjecture is that the asymptotic density of this sequence is 0.

EXAMPLE
rad(18)^2 - sigma(18) = (2*3)^2 - (1+2+3+6+9+18) = 36 - 39 = -3 and 18 is a term.
rad(25)^2 - sigma(25) = 5^2 - (1+5+25) = 25 - 31 = -6 and 25 is a term.
rad(40)^2 - sigma(40) = (2*5)^2 - (1+2+4+5+8+10+20+40) = 100 - 90 = 10 and 40 is not a term.
