Simply gaining honor and renown may be sufficient. Of course, I largely assume adventurers will have a lifestyle akin to what Golden Age pirates were purported to have - get a big score, live lavishly until the money's all spent, and then go out and do it all over again. A proper dwarf isn't going to be doing that - they'll likely be adventuring more for renown than for loot, and the loot they do get I expect they'd be sending back to their family/clan (minus what they need for their own expenses, including upgrading their gear if that's an option). Those adventurers who spend everything on their own pleasures would be the ones dwarven society may look down upon.
