No AMRAPS, and I've been going up to 6 sets. If I got all 6 without too much trouble (RPE 7 or so) I added more weight, if I finished the last set around an RPE 9 added less weight. If the last set was a 9.5-10, max effort kind of thing, which is where I am getting to on the lower lifts and very close to on the upper, then cut out a set.
I have found on upper body lifts I can do more reps at a higher weight with more sets across, which I think is finally driving some progress in them. It also helps me on the lower body lifts keeping the "one more, sloppy ugly rep" tendency I have in check- I'm pretty good at repping out, to the point where my calculated maxes for anything over 3 reps are way higher than I can actually perform.
