So, there are a few soft caps before he hard cap of 1320 Light.
When you hit those soft caps, you can only progress in specific ways instead of any random world drop.
The first soft cap is 1260. From there on, only Powerful or Pinnacle Drops give higher Power Gear.
There are a lot of ways to obtain Powerful Gear, like weekly milestones, challenges from various NPCs, Powerful Engrams, and more. Many of the sources can be seen in the Director (the star map), and they are marked with a yellow star symbol and an explanation.
The second soft cap is 1310. From there on, only Pinnacle Drops progress you.
Pinnacle Drops are marked in the Director as well, however many of the sources for Pinnacle Gear are Pinnacle Activities which are tougher, like Raids.

Happy to help. The game sometimes doesn't do a good job of explaining a few things. As a pro-tip for the future: when you run into any trouble again, it's best to post in the #Help forum (the forum has a selection of sub forums when you post). In the #Help forum you find a lot of knowledgeable Users and Mentors who can assist you with almost anything. Here in #Destiny2 where you posted you can find help too, but sometimes posts get drowned due to the amount of posts here.
