Before adding an amp I would create another antenna with more elements (additional directionality and thus more gain) and possible upgrade the feedline. You may also want to consider placing the mount behind the reflector since in it's current configuration the mast may be altering the antenna's properties. Finally, you did not mention how long your feedline is but upgrading from RG-6 to something semi-rigid in a 1/2" or larger flavor may be something to consider if you have a 100+ foot run.
When attempting to reel in a distant station, every dB helps. With that said, you made one very fine looking antenna.
